Joke about Farmer Jim’s accident

Farmer Jim decided to take the trucking company responsible for his accident to court because of the severity of his injuries.

Needless to say the trucking company hired a fancy lawyer and whilst questioning Farmer Jim in the court room he enquired, “Is it not true that at the scene of the accident you said specifically, in front of witnesses, ‘I’m fine’?“

Farmer Jim responded, “Sir, let me tell you what happened. I had just loaded my best mule Bessie into the…….“

“I didn’t ask you for any details sir,” the lawyer interrupted, “Answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine!’ Yes or No?”

Farmer Jim said, “Well, I’d just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the
road….“

Once again, the lawyer was quick to interrupt Farmer Jim mid-sentence.

Looking at the Judge the lawyer said, “Your Honour, I am trying to establish the fact that,
at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman at the scene that he
was just 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.“

Well as luck would have it, the judge was interested in what Farmer Jim had to say, so
he said to the lawyer, “I’m sorry sir but I’d like to hear what this man has to say. So I
would ask him to continue with his story.”

Jim thanked the Judge and continued.

“Well,” he said, “I had just loaded Bessie into the trailer and I was driving her down the
highway when this huge truck with a trailer ran the stop sign and T-boned my truck.”

“And then what happened?” The Judge enquired.

“Well, I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other.” Jim responded.

“And were you hurt?” The Judge asked.

“Yes,” said Jim. “I was hurting real bad and I didn’t want to move. However, I could hear
ole Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans.”

“And then what happened?” the Judge asked.

“Well, shortly after the accident the Highway Patrolman appeared at the scene.” Jim said.

“And what did he do?” the Judge responded.

“Well Your Honour, he could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her.
After he looked at her momentarily he then took out his gun and shot her between the eyes.” said Jim

“And did you say to the Highway Patrolman that you were fine?” The Judge asked.

“Well,” said Jim. “After he shot Bessie, he came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me and said, ‘Your mule was in such bad shape I had no choice but to shoot her. How are you feeling?’”

Information to Help You Learn How To Be A Happier Person

Everyone has up and down moments, because we are not happy all the time, due to the many factors influencing our moods everyday. When you find that you may not be getting much enjoyment out of life, it may be time to learn how to be a happier person. In many ways, the happiness we get out of life is what we put into our living, and there are many things that can interfere with being happy including the following:

• Being afraid of the world in general.
• Greed makes you envious, and no envious person can be happy.
• Loss of a loved one.
• Illness.
• Being stressed out from work.
• Being unable to fulfill all your dreams.
• Feeling guilty over events.

The list of why anyone is unhappy can probably go on for pages, but once you have decided that you want to be a happier person, you have taken that important first step towards your goal.

You’re Only Human

As part of learning how to be a happier person you have to accept the fact that you are only a human being, not a superman or superwoman. Very often, you may make very unreasonable demands upon yourself during you daily activities which can leave you feeling flustered, harried, and unhappy. One person can do only so much every day, and feeling overwhelmed is a sure path to unhappiness.

However, learning how to be a happier person isn’t all that hard, and you will only need to make a few changes in your life and way of thinking to find yourself feeling better about yourself and everything else. Happiness is not out of your reach as long as you take a bit of time and effort to become a happier person.

Ways To Become Happy

The nice thing about finding out how to become happy is that it really won’t cost you anything at all.

While some people may think that going out and spending a lot of money on ‘things’ will make them happy, they generally find out that once the novelty has worn off, they are just as unhappy as they were before.

Happiness has to come from inside you, how you view yourself and the world.

• Laughing is actually a great way how to become a happier person. When we laugh, we increase the blood flow in our bodies and release endorphins. As an example, skip the nightly news and instead watch some comedy, while you sit back and enjoy.

• Meditation is another good method to employ to feel happier. Meditation helps you enter an advanced mental state that drives away stress and negative thoughts. Relaxation through actions such as meditation helps to release natural chemicals and hormones that counteract the effects of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. Stress hormones cause you to feel nervous and unhappy, so removing them, and replacing them with your own ‘feel good’ chemicals will make the world seem a lot brighter. The positive effects of meditation will wash over into your everyday life, too.

• Keeping busy in a good way is another path how to become a happier person. Becoming involved in a new activity, rather than just plopping down in front of the TV can elevate your mood. For example, learning to play a musical instrument or taking up wood carving will help you feel more satisfied with yourself as well as giving you something interesting to do.

• Consciously pushing aside negative thoughts is also an important happiness exercise. It’s all too easy for you to become angry or jealous or harbour a grudge. It’s not just you, everyone does this from time to time. Whenever you feel one of these negative feeling bubbling up, consciously stop it and think of something pleasant. In time, you will train yourself to think in a more positive vein and feel happier more of the time.

Don’t let anyone tell you that there are few ways how to become a happier person, becoming happier is within your reach if you just take a little effort to make it happen.

Animal Friends which few people get to see.

We see some of our pets becoming good friends, and sometimes at a zoo or wild life park we may also see a variety of animals being friends outside of their family, pack or species partially due to not needing to hunt for food or being raised by humans, but also we have found some animals in the natural world that are showing that being good friends with another species is more common than we think, even when normally they are predator and prey. We may never know why some of these friends do happen, but we can still enjoy seeing that it does happen. Here are some images of these “different” friendships, some which may surprise you.

In the wild, there are associations such as this type of crab and sea urchin that depend on each other for hunting and protection. The urchin crab gets carries the the fire sea urchin around and the sea urchin provides a safe place for the crab to shelter from predators or even as a weapon for the crab. The fire sea urchin is poisonous.

In September 2019 a wildlife camera in Africa captured this shot of a buffalo giving a ride to a genet which is a small cat related carnivore. It was reported that the same genet had also been riding on a rhino. Certainly a safe place and good viewing platform for the genet.

This mouse was seen getting a ride on a frog during the early onset of the monsoon rains in India.

A baby hippopotamus was rescued after surviving a devastating a tsunami and was taken to an animal sanctuary in Kenya, where it became good friends with a rescued tortoise.

This Great Dane was reported in 2010 to have adopted the fawn after it was abandoned by it’s mother, and the story featured on a video by National Geographic.

This Buffalo has two birds getting a ride and obtaining some protection, plus the smaller bird is doing some cleaning of insect parasites on the Buffalo.

The monkey and friend were captured working together gathering for food.

Zebra‘s have these Oxpecker birds on them to eat their ticks and other parasites that annoy Zebras. It is a relationship that works well for both, with the Zebras free from ticks and the birds get a good meal of ticks. The birds also alert the Zebras when the birds sense danger, so it is an extra good partnership for the species.

This image from a wildlife reserve shows a monkey and a Zebra with a good relationship, which provides the monkey with a safe place and the Zebra with a warning against dangers.

This friendship between an ostrich and a baby elephant is a good example of what happens when animals are in the safety of a wildlife park. Very comforting to both.

These images were caught on a wildlife camera showing the trusting friendship between a deer and a wolf. Being both day and night images with time records, shows they stayed together for mutual benefit.

These Mongoose have teamed up with a Red River Hog which provides a warning system for the Hog while it is resting and provides the Mongoose with protection from predators.

The squirrel and the small bird show they can be friends.

A cat and a pet pig enjoying each others company.

This deer was seen in Buffalo, New York to be guarding this Canadian Goose for the complete time she was on her nest, and later was reported to be protecting the baby goslings from crows.
