A farmer was in an accident with a trucking company and finally decided his injuries were serious enough to take the company to court. In court, the trucking company’s lawyer was questioning the farmer and asked, “Didn’t you say at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine’?”

The farmer responded, “Well let me tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favourite mule into the…”

“I didn’t ask for any details,” the lawyer interrupted. “Just answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine’?”

The farmer said, “Well I had just got my mule into the trailer and I was driving down the road…”

The lawyer interrupted again and said, “Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that this man told the police officer on the scene that he was just fine. Now, several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question.”

By this time the Judge was fairly interested in the farmer’s answer and said to the lawyer, “I’d like to hear what he has to say about his favourite mule.”

Joe thanked the Judge and proceeded, “Well, as I was saying, I had just loaded my favourite mule into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi truck ran right into me. I was thrown into one ditch and my mule was thrown into the other. I could hear my mule moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Then the officer came on the scene. He could hear my mule groaning so he went over to her. All of a sudden I heard a gun shot and then no more moaning. Then the officer came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me and said, ‘Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her. How are you feeling?’ What do you think I was going to say?”
