Boudreaux had a bad vehicle accident, caused by a truck.
In court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning
Boudreaux.
"Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, "I'm fine," asked the
lawyer?
Boudreaux responded, "Well, I'll tell you what 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!"?
Boudreaux said, "Well, 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
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 answer the question."
By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Boudreaux's answer
and said to the lawyer,
"I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule, Bessie".
Boudreaux thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well as I was saying,
I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was
driving
her 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 Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting real bad and
didn't want to move. However, I could hear ole Bessie moaning and
groaning. I
knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans."
"Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene.
He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning 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, and looked
at me, and said 'How are you feeling?'"
"Now what would you say???"
