Ole had a car accident and 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 a long story," 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 just to answer the question."
By this time, however, the Judge wanted to hear Ole's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his mule."
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 big 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 could hear she was in terrible shape."
"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 she was in bad shape, he took out his gun and shot her right between da eyes."
"Then he came across da road with his gun in his hand, lookedat me and said, 'And how are you feeling?'"
"I ask you, your honor, vat the hell vould YOU have said?"
