I'm back...

 

Let's start the week off with a joke!

 

Boudreaux Goes To Court

 

In Opelousas, Louisiana; this fella Boudreaux had a bad vehicular

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

downda 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?!"
