BOUDREAUX IN COURT
Boudreaux had a bad vehicle accident, caused by a truck.
In court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning Boudreaux.
"Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, "I'm fine," asked the
lawyer?
Boudreaux responded, "Mais, Let me told you what happened. Me, I had
jusloaded my favorite mule, Bessie, into da . . . . "
"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!"?
Boudreaux said, "Mais, me, I had jus got Bessie into da trailer and I
was driving down da 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 answer the question."
By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Boudreaux's answer and
said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his
favorite mule, Bessie".
Boudreaux thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Mais Cher as I was saying,
me, I had jus loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into da trailer and was
driving her down da highway when dis huge semi-truck and trailer ran da
stop sign and smacked my truck right in da side. Me, I was thrown into
one ditch and Bessie was thrown into da udder. I was hurting, me, real
bad and didn't want to move at tall. But, me, I could herd ole Bessie
moanin and groanin. Me, I knew she was in some kind o' terrible shape
just by her groans."
"Shortly after da accident, a Highway Patrolman, he came on da scene.
He herd Bessie moanin' and groanin' so, him, he went over ta her. After
he took himself a look at her, he took out his gun and shot her between
da eyes.
Den da Patrolman came cross da road, gun in hand, and looked at me, and
said 'How are you feeling?'"
"Now what da hell would you say?"
