I’m Fine

This poor old man is in court suing a rich man that sideswiped him with his SUV. The rich man’s high priced attorney is questioning him on the stand.

“Now sir, according to the police report on the scene you stated, not once but repeatedly, that you were fine. The officer on the scene asked you more than once to your condition and each time you stated that you were indeed fine. Now we are left to wonder if the officer on the scene was lying or yourself. So, were you lying sir?”

The old man looked at the lawyer for a few moments before replying.

“Well, it all started when I decided to go to town with my donkey Bessie…”

“Sir, this is a simple yes or no answer.”

“Well, when Bessie and I were on our way to town…”

“Sir, just answer the question.”

The lawyer, frustrated, appealed to the judge to have the old man answer the question. The judge’s curiousity had been piqued though. He allowed the old man to continue with his story.

Well, Bessie and I were on our way to town when out of nowhere this man here swooped by with his big fancy car and knocked me and old Bessie for a loop. I went flyin to one side of the road and Bessie to the other. She must have been hurt somethin awful, she was moaning and crying and I could hear her from where I lay. I’m not sayin I wasn’t in bad shape myself tho. So, this officer had seen what happened and he come over. But he was closer to the other side of the road, so he checked on old Bessie first. I have to trust that he thought old Bessie was in some bad shape cause he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. But then he come over to me, askin how I feel…”

😛 Hehe
