Well, I think the case is defensible. Let's see, Judge you know I had them watermelons almost ready to pick. That night I remember hearing a strange noise sort of like moo-thump, moo-thump, then I heard a loud crash. Now I can't prove it and that is why I haven't counter sued but I suspect that one of those cows came up here last night a tried to steal one of those watermelon. She must have slipped and rolled down the hill hence the moo-thump, moo-thump I heard that night. Now your honor, I don't feel I should be held responsible for this act of thievery that was beyond my control. Those other three wouldn't have drowned either if they hadn't been assigned as look outs. Why that big ol thieving cow must of tumbled down that hill cascading into that big water tank thereby causing it to rupture which then fell right on those other three watch out cows. Now your honor, assuming that the watermelon did in fact play a part in this unfortunate mishap, there is absolutely no proof to demonstrate exactly how that there melon came to be amongst those poor unfortunate floating, bloated, drowned cows. One other thing your honor, should the plaintiff decide to cross examine me, I don't recall a thing about any of this. Yo honor, I rest my case.
