A man named Smith was injured when he and his horse were struck by a
car at an intersection. Smith sued the driver and claimed damages. In
court, he was cross-examined by the driver's lawyer. The lawyer said:
Mr Smith, you've told us all about your injuries. But according to the
accident report, you told the investigating officer at the scene that
you were not injured at all?

Mr Smith said: Well, let me explain. When the officer arrived at the
scene, he first looked at my horse. He said "Looks like he has a
broken leg," and then he took out his gun and shot the horse. Then he
came up to me and asked me how I was doing. Of course I immediately
said "I'm fine!"
