Farmer Joe decided his injuries from the accident were serious enough to take the trucking company (responsible for the accident) to court. In court the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning farmer Joe.

Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, "I'm fine," said the lawyer. Farmer Joe responded, "Well I'll tell you what happened.

I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the......."

"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!'"

Farmer Joe said, "Well I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the 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 simply answer the question."

By this time the Judge was fairly interested in Farmer Joe's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule Bessie."

Joe thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side.

I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting real bad and didn't want to move. However, I could hear ole Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene.

He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her then he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the Patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me. He said, "Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her. How are you feeling?"

When was the last time you made a confession? asked the priest.
"I never have" said the man, "I am Jewish."
"Then why are telling me all this?" asked the priest.
"I am telling everybody ..." says the man.

It was a dark, stormy, night. The Marine was on his first assignment, and it was guard duty.
A General stepped out taking his dog for a walk.
The nervous young Private snapped to attention, made a perfect salute, and snapped out "Sir, Good Evening, Sir!"

Well it wasn't a nice night, but the Private wasn't going to disagree with the General, so the he saluted again and replied "Sir, Yes Sir!".
The General continued, "You know there's something about a stormy night that I find soothing, it's really relaxing. Don't you agree?"
The Private didn't agree, but then the private was just a private, and responded "Sir, Yes Sir!"
The General, pointing at the dog, "This is a Golden Retriever, the best type of dog to train."
The Private glanced at the dog, saluted yet again and said "Sir, Yes Sir!"
The General continued "I got this dog for my wife."

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer
Got into the gene pool while the lifeguard wasn't watching
A room temperature IQ
Got a full 6-pack, but lacks the plastic thingy to hold them together
Bright as Alaska in December
One-celled organisms out-score him in IQ tests
Donated his body to science...before he was done using it
Fell out of the family tree
Gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming
He's so dense, light bends around him
If brains were taxed, he'd get a refund
If you give him a penny for his thoughts, you'd get change back
If you stand close enough to him, you can hear the ocean
It's hard to believe that he beat 100,000 other sperm
Some drink from the fountain of knowledge, he just gargled
Takes him 1 1/2 hours to watch 60 minutes.
Was left on the Tilt-a-Whirl a bit too long as a baby
Wheel is turning, but the hamster is dead
His elevator does not go to the top
Lights are on and nobody is home
Does not have both oars in the water
He has two brains...one is lost and the other one is looking for it.

"Did I say I was 64?"
"Well, no, did I read your chart wrong?" "Damn straight you did! I'm 85!"
"85!! Unbelievable! You would be in great shape if you were 25! How old was your father when he died?"
"Did I say he was dead?"
"You mean..."
"Damn straight! He's 106 and going strong!"
"My Lord! What a healthy family you must come from! How long did your grandfather live?"
"Did I say he was dead?"
"No! You can't mean..."
"Damn straight! He's 126, and getting married next week!"
"126! Truly amazing, Mr. Edwards. But gee, I wouldn't think a man would want to get married at that age!"
"Did I say he ‘wanted’ to get married?..."
