You gotta smile...

6 Replies

I am in danger of being joked-out. I hope this makes you smile:

An old farmer named Clyde was driving along one day when truck ran into his trailer, running him off the road. Being a good American, Clyde sued the truck company.

In court, the trucking company's lawyer was questioning Clyde.

"Didn't you say at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine,'?" asked the lawyer.

Clyde responded, "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favourite 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!'?"

Clyde said, "Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and 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 Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now he is trying to sue my client. Please tell him to simply answer the question."

By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Clyde's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say."

Clyde thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well... as I was sayin', I had just loaded Bessie, my favourite mule, into the trailer and was drivin' her down the highway when this huge semi ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurtin' real bad. I could hear ole Bessie moanin' and groanin'. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Real soon a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moanin' and groanin', too. So, he went over to her. After he looked at her, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the Patrolman came across the road, gun in hand, looked at me, and said, 'How are YOU feeling?

'What the heck would you say?"

Isn't it awful? And to cap it all I feel guilty for feelinglike this.

Went to see Moonrise Kingdom yesterday at the cinema, a quirky little film, somewhat surreal and reminded meof the Ingmar Bergman films of my youth though quite different. Itgave me a couple of hours of pleasant distracti so can recommend it.
