I SEE HIS POINT


 In court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning
Clyde, who was not noted for having an IQ above room temperature.

 "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 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!'"

 Clyde said, "Well 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 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 saying, I
had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her
down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer 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 hurting real bad and didn't want to move.
However,
I could hear ole 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
 he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes."
 "Then the Patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand
 and looked at me." He said, "How are you feeling?
