CLYDE AND THE TRUCK ACCIDENT

An old farmer named Clyde had a car accident. In court, the trucking company's

fancy 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

favorite mule, Bessie, into ..... "

" 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 Military Policeman 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 Clyde's answer and said to the

lawyer, " I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule, Bessie. "

Clyde thanked the Judge and proceeded, " Well... as I was sayin', I had just

loaded Bessie, my favorite 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 and didn't want to move. However, I could hear ole Bessie

moanin' and groanin'. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans.

Real soon an MP 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 MP came across the road, gun in hand, looked

at me, and said, 'How are YOU feeling?'

Now what the hell would you say? "

A politician is a man who will double cross that bridge when he comes to it
