Farmer Bob was returning from town with his cow, Missy, and his dog, Rusty, in the pan of his truck. On a really slick section of hillside with a steep drop of a couple of hundred feet, he lost control of his truck and plummeted over the side. As the truck rolled over several times, the dog and cow wer thrown down the slope. All were alive, but the farmer, unfortunately, was beneath the truck and in severe pain with a broken leg, several cracked ribs, and a broken wrist and arm.
By and by, a state trooper came along. Treading his way carefully down the slope, he came upon the cow first. She had suffered a broken leg. Knowing how much pain she was in, the trooper took out his gun and put Missy out of her misery. He proceeded down the slope and came across Rusty, crawling along, dragging his two broken legs. He had been hit pretty hard. Again the state trooper unholstered his gun and did the kindest thing.
He then continued on to Farmer Bob. The trooper stared down at him and said, "Are you in much pain, sir?"
To which Farmer Bob, eyeing the gun on the trooper's hip, replied instantaneously, "Never felt better, sir!"
