In Ireland a farmer named Seamus O'Malley had a car accident.

In court, the lorry company's fancy hot shot solicitor was questioning Seamus.

'Didn't you say, to the Garda at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine Sir' asked
the solicitor.

Seamus responded, 'Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my
favourite cow, Bessie, into the...'

'I didn't ask for any details', the solicitor interrupted. 'Just answer the
question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, I'm fine?'

Seamus said, 'Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving
down the road....'

The solicitor interrupted again and said, 'Your Honour, I am trying to establish
the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Gárda 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.'

By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Seamus's answer and said to the
solicitor, 'I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favourite cow,
Bessie'.

Seamus thanked the Judge and proceeded. 'Well as I was saying, I had just loaded
Bessie, my favourite cow, into the trailer and was driving her down the road
when this huge lorry and trailer came through a stop sign and hit my trailer
right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the
other. I was hurt, very bad like, and didn't want to move.

However, I could hear old Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was In
terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident a Garda on a
motorbike turned up. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over
to her. After he looked at her, and saw her condition, he took out his gun and
shot her between the eyes.

Then the Garda came across the road, gun still in hand, looked at me and said,
'How are you feeling?'

'Now what in the devil's name would you say?'
