THE ACCIDENT IN IOWA
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
Iowa 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 Iowa Highway Patrolman came to da
scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went 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 hell vould YOU say?'
