John had a bad car accident involving a large truck. Weeks later, in court, the trucking company’s fancy lawyer was questioning John.
“Didn’t you say, at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine,’?” asked the lawyer.
John responded, “Well, I’ll tell you what happened. I just put my dog, Molly, 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!’?”
John said, “Well, I just got Molly into the car 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 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 John’s answer and said to the lawyer, “I’d like to hear what he has to say about his dog Molly”.
John thanked the Judge and proceeded. “Well, like I was saying, I just loaded Molly, my lovely dog, into the car and was driving him down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Molly vas thrown into the other. I was hurting, real bad and didn’t want to move.
However, I heard Molly moaning and groaning. I knew he was in terrible shape just by his groans. Then a Highway Patrolman came along. He could hear Molly moaning and groaning so he went over to him. After he looked at him, and saw what terrible condition Molly was in, he took out his gun and shoots him between the eyes.
Then the Patrolman comes across the road, gun still in hand, looks at me and says, “How you feeling?”
“Well Judge, what would you say?
