Ole's
accident:
Ole, had
a car accident.
In court, the
trucking company's lawyer was
questioning
Ole.
"Didn't you say, sir, at the scene of the accident, "I'm
fine," asked the lawyer."
Ole
responded, "Vell, I'll tell you vat happened. I had just loaded
my favorite mule, Bessie, 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!"?
Ole
said, "Vell, I had just got Bessie 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, at the scene of the accident,
this man told the Minnesota
Highway Patrolman 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 Ole's
answer and said
to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his
favorite mule, Bessie."
Ole thanked the
Judge and proceeded. "Vell as I vas
saying, I had
just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into
da trailer and
vas driving her down da highvay ven dis
huge semi-truck
and trailer ran da stop sign and smacked my truck right in da side. I vas
trown into one ditch and Bessie vas trown into da other. I vas hurting real
bad and didn't vant to move.
However, I
could hear Bessie moaning and groaning.
I knew she was in
terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after da accident da Minnesota Highway
Patrolman came to da scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he
vent over to her. After he looked at her, and saw her fatal
condition, he took out his gun and shot her right 'tween da eyes.
Then the
Patrolman came across da road, gun still in hand, looked at me and said,
"How are you feeling?''
"Now
vat the heck vould YOU say?"
