The Nebraska Farmer

Clyde, a farmer in Nebraska, decided his injuries from an accident were serious enough to take the trucking company (the one responcible for the accident) to court. In court the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning Clyde. "Didnt you say at the scene of the accident,"Im Fine" asked the lawyer. Clyde respnded, "Well, Ill tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the..." "I didnt ask for any details, the lawyer interupted, "I just want the answer. Did you or did you not say "Im Fine" at the scene of the accident?" Clyde said "Well yes, but I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road.." The lawyer interupted again and said, "Judge Im trying to establish the fact that at the scene of the accident, this man told the Nebraska highway Patrol man, he was just fine. Now several weeks later after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe this man is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question." By this time the Judge was fairly interested in what the man had to say about his favorite mule Bessie and ordered that Clyde be aloud to tell his story. Clyde thanked the Judge and then proceeded, "Well lke I was saying I had just finished loading my favorite mule Bessie into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi truck and trailer ran a stop sign and smacked right into the side of my truck. I was thorwn into one ditch and Bessie in to another. I was hurt real bad but I could hear Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape from what I could hear." "About that time a highway Patrolman came to the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After looking at her he pulled out his gun and shot her between the eyes." "Then the patrol man came across the road to me with his gun in hand and looked at me and said, "and, how are you feeling?"" Moral of this story...Always make sure others hear your side of every sotry.
