- A farmer who had been hit on a normally deserted
- country road, was now testifying in court, for
- medical rewards.
-
- The opposing attorney was questioning the farmer
- hot and heavy. "Now, Mr. Jones, how is it that
- on the day of the accident, at the scene, you
- reported no injuries or problems, but are now
- complaining?"
-
- "Well", Mr. Jones replied, "I was driving my
- prize cow, Billy, to the market. As I was drving
- along, all of a sudden, this car coming from the
- other direction crossed over the center line,
- and hit me almost head-on. Billy flew out of the
- back of the pickup in one direction, and I flew
- out in the other, clear over to the other side of
- the road."
-
- The attorney interrupted, and asked the judge to
- please instruct the witness to answer his question
- directly. The judge thought for a moment, then
- said "I think I will allow Mr. Jones to continue
- his answer as is. Please go ahead, Mr. Jones."
-
- "Well sir, as I said, Billy was flung to one side
- of the road, and there I was on t'other. Very
- shortly, a highway patrolman arrived, and ran
- over to Billy. Making a quick assessment that
- all was not well with Billy, he pulled his
- revolver and shot her dead. He then proceeded
- to come across the road to check me out. So I
- tell ya', Your Honor, I got myself up and got
- the hell out o' there real fast!"
