Ole's Answer

Ole had a car accident. In court, the trucking
company's lawyer was questioning Ole .

"Didn't you say, 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 any details", 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 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 simply answer the
question."

By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Ole 's answer and
said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his
favorite mule, Bessie".

Ole thanked the Judge and proceeded. "Vell as I vas saying, I had
just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and vas
driving her down the highway ven this huge semi-truck and trailer
ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I vas
thrown into one ditch and Bessie vas thrown into the other. I vas
hurting, real bad and didn't vant to move. However, I could hear
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, and saw her fatal condition, he
took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the Patrolman
came across the road, gun still in hand, looked at me and said, "How
are you feeling?"

"Now vat the HELL vould you say?
