The farmer replied, ‘Well, it was like this, I was

waling Bessie along the road with a rope, when

suddenly, swoooosh around the corner this truck

came speeding. He knock Bessie and me off…”

The defense lawyer, slow on his feet, jumped up and

said, “I object! I asked for a simple yes or no answer,

not a dialogue.”

The judge sustained the defense lawyer’s objection,

and told the farmer to answer with a yes or no only.

Then he asked the lawyer to restate the question,

which he did, but again the farmer began a long

answer.

Again the defense lawyer objected, and again the

judge sustained the objection.

But when it happened yet again, the third time, the

judge relented and just said to let the farmer finish

what he wanted to say.

The farmer said,

“Your honor, a simple yes or no answer is

just not that easy. I’m trying to tole you the

truth, but every time I do, this lawyer he

jumps himself up and objects.
