A Maryland farmer (we'll call him Camp) had a traffic accident with a Trucking co tractor & trailer.
In court, the trucking company's hot-shot lawyer was questioning Camp..
'Didn't you say to the Police at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine?' asked the lawyer.
Camp responded: 'Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favourite cow, 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,'Im fine!'?'
Camp said, 'Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road....'
The lawyer interrupted again and said, 'Your Honour, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the police on the scene that he was 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 Camp's answer and said to the lawyer: 'I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favourite cow, Bessie'.
Camp thanked the Judge and proceeded. 'Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favourite cow, into the trailer and was driving her down the road when this huge truck and trailer came through a stop sign and hit my trailer right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurt, very bad like, and didn't want to move.
However, I could hear old Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible pain just by her groans.
Shortly after the accident, a policeman on a motorbike turned up. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, and saw her condition, he took out his gun and shot her between the
eyes..
Then the policeman came across the road, gun still in hand, looked at me, and said, 'How are you feeling?'
'Now I ask you, what the F*** would you have said?!!!!!
