P. 27
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a truck
came speeding around the corner
and knocked the farmer and Bessie
off the road into a ditch.
Like any red-blooded American with any backbone
at all, the farmer sued the trucking company.
The case went to court, and the defense attorney for
the trucking company had the plaintiff-farmer on the
witness stand. He was cross examining him, and the
lawyer said,
“Sir, is it not true that, on the day of the
accident, after you were allegedly, and
inadvertently knocked into the ditch, that
the truck driver got out of his truck, and
came back to where you were. He then
asked, ‘Are you hurt?” — to which you
replied, ‘No, I am not.’
Now please answer the question with a
simple yes or no reply only.”
