Just to cheer Fred up !

[SIZE=-1] Farmer Joe had recently been injured in a serious traffic accident and decided his injuries 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. "Records show that at the scene of the accident, you stated to the police 'I'm fine.'?"[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] Farmer Joe responded, "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into my trailer, and..." "I didn't ask you or details," the lawyer interrupted. "Just answer the question. Did you not say at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine'?"[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] Farmer Joe responded, "Well, I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the trailer, and I was driving down the highway..."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] The lawyer interrupted again, "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 that he is a fraud. Please tell him to answer the question."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] By this time, though, 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."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] Farmer Joe thanked the judge and proceeded. "Well, as I was saying, I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the highway, when this huge semi-truck ran the stop sign and smacked into my truck right in the side. I was thrown into the ditch on one side of the road, and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting real bad, and didn't want to move. I could hear Bessie moaning and groaning, and I knew she was in bad shape."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]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?'"[/SIZE]

Thanks for all your support. It was a silly accident, but as some folks know on here, I came out of the old bill due to depression, and still suffer episodes of depression which can be triggered off by big or small things!

The bloke rang me tonight. He's been on the net and have found a place which can supply a new stand and censer for it for 50 pounds................:hurray:He's been so nice, and when I said I was going to get him a crate of lager, told me the insurance company wouldn't give him that! Hes still getting a beer.

Fred, it's only metal. The only thing really hurt is your pride......and your wallet! I had 2 accidents last week. I reversed into a skip and broke my back light. I then reversed back into the same skip and gouged the back panel of my car all the way upto the petrol tank cap! The strange thing was that I did not care. It's a really nice golf gti and I have to use it for work. It's way too small now and I really need to get a big 4x4 or something. I'm sure my golf is being devalued by about £100 a week because of all the knocks, broken glove compartment, dented dashboard etc. All damage caused by planks of wood, Hardiebacker boards, tool boxes, dust etc. Cheers Sean
