Ole, had a car accident & was suing the trucking company

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 Minnesota

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 Minnesota Highway Patrolman came to da scene.

He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he vent over to her'.

'After he looked at her, and saw her fatal condition, he took out his

gunand 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?'
