#4 The Farmer
Joe, a farmer, met with an accident with a truck. He believed his injurious were serious enough that he could drag the trucking company to the court.
When they went to the court, the sumptuous lawyer tried to put down the farmer by questioning him.
"Didn't you say at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine,"' asked the lawyer.
The farmer tried to answer....."Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the..." and was cut off by the lawyer.
"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!'"
#3 The Glitch Continues
At this point the farmer again tried to speak up his story. He started, "Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road..."
This time the lawyer ran out of patience as he was too keen to prove his point. He looked at the judge 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 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."
And even before the jury had made a decision, the great lawyer had already found him guilty.
What happens next? Read on to know.
#2 Unlucky For The Lawyer
Even after the very not-so-convincing speech by the lawyer, the judge still wanted to know the farmer's story. So he gave him a chance by saying, "I'd like to hear what he has to say."
With gratitude to the Judge, Joe finally continued without interruption:
Well, as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie 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 ol' Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. "
There was silence amongst the crowd as everybody felt for the poor man. What he said next really spinned the game around.
#1 Turning The Wheel
He continued, "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, 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?"
"Now what the hell would you say?"
Well played man.
