At the trial of a lawsuit brought by a man claiming terrible injuries in a car accident, the other driver’s lawyer asked him: “When the policeman came over to you and asked how are you, didn’t you say ‘I’m fine?'” The man responded: “I had my little dog with me in the car and…” The lawyer interrupted him and said, “I’m not interested in hearing about your dog. Just answer my question, yes or no, didn’t you tell the policeman ‘I’m fine?'” The man said “Well, my dog…” Annoyed, the lawyer turned to the Judge and said “Your Honor, please direct the plaintiff to answer my question, yes or no.” The Judge, however, said “You know, I’m interested in hearing about the dog. Please continue.” The plaintiff then testified about how horrible the accident was, how the car was crushed, and how his dog was unable to move and was moaning with excruciating pain. “The policeman came over and saw the terrible condition and suffering of my dog,” he said, “and to put it out of its misery, he shot him in the head. It was an awful sight. He then turned to me and said ‘And how are you?’ Of course, I immediately responded ‘I’m fine. I’m fine.'”
