BOUDREAUX GOES TO COURT
In Louisiana , this fella, Boudreaux, had a bad vehicle accident,
caused by an 18-wheeler that ran a stop sign.
In court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning
Boudreaux:
"Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, I'm fine?" the lawyer
asked.
Boudreaux responded, "Let me told you what happened. Me, I had jus
loaded 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, "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 State
Policeman 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, "I had just 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, real bad and didn't want to move at
tall. But, 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 State Policeman, he came on da scene. He
herd Bessie moanin' and groanin' so, him, he went over ta her. After he
took hisself 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?!"
