An Amish man named Samuel was injured when a car at an intersection struck him and his horse.
Samuel sued the driver of the car. In court, he was cross-examined by the driver's lawyer:
Lawyer: Samuel, you've told us all about your injuries. However, according to the accident report, you told the investigating officer at the scene that you weren't injured at all, isn't that true?"
Samuel: Well ... let me explain.
Lawyer: Go right ahead (thinking he now had the plaintiff on the ropes).
Please tell the jury.
Samuel: When the officer arrived at the scene, he first looked upon my fallen horse.
Finding him injured, the officer said to me, "Looks like he has a broken leg," and then he took out his weapon and shot my horse dead.
The officer next looked upon me and asked how I was doing. Suffering from the same injury as my horse, I of course immediately replied, "I'm OK!"
