This Is What Happens When A High-Priced Lawyer Tries To Intimidate A Farmer

Farmer Denzil was in an accident, and he decided his injuries were serious enough to sue the lorry company responsible for the accident. In the courtroom, the company’s fancy lawyer interrogated Farmer Denzil, asking him: “Didn’t you say at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine’?”

Farmer Denzil said, “Well, I’ll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favourite mule Suzie 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?’”

Farmer Denzil replied, “As I was saying, I had just got Suzie into the trailer and I was driving down the road…”

The lawyer cut him off 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 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, though, the judge was fairly interested in Farmer Denzi’s answer, and he said to the lawyer: “I’d like to hear what he has to say.” Farmer Denzil thanked the judge and proceeded.

“Well, as I was saying, I had just loaded Suzie into the trailer and was driving her down the road when this huge truck and trailer smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Suzie was thrown into the other. I was hurting really bad and didn’t want to move.”

He continued: “However, I could hear ol’ Suzie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident a policeman came on the scene. He could hear Suzie, 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 policeman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me. He said, ‘Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her. How are you feeling?’” Farmer Denzil looked right at the lawyer: “Now what the hell would you say?”
