| A big city lawyer
from Chicago went duck hunting in rural TEXAS.
He shot and
dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the
other side of a fence.
|

As the lawyer
climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove
up on his tractor and asked him what he was doing.
The litigation
specialist responded,
"I shot a
duck and it fell in this field,
and now I'm going to retrieve it."
|
| The old farmer
replied,
"This is my
property, and you are not coming over here."
The indignant
lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys
in the United States and, if you don't let me get that duck,
I'll sue you and take everything you own."
|
| The old farmer
just smiled and said,
"Apparently,
you don't know how we settle disputes in Texas.
We settle small disagreements like this with the "Three
Kick Rule."
The lawyer asked, "What is the 'Three Kick Rule'?"
The Farmer
replied, "Well, because the dispute occurs on my
land, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three
times and so on back and forth until someone gives up."
|
The attorney
quickly thought about the proposed contest and
decided that he could easily take the old codger.
He agreed to abide by the local custom. |
|
The old farmer
slowly climbed down from the tractor and
walked up to the attorney. His first kick planted the toe of his
heavy steel toed work boot into the lawyer's groin and dropped
him to his knees. His second kick to the midriff sent the
lawyer's
last meal gushing from his mouth. The lawyer was on all fours
when the farmer's third kick to his rear end sent him face-first
into a fresh cow pie. The lawyer summoned every bit of his will
and managed to get to his feet.
|
|
Wiping his face
with the arm of
his jacket, he said, "Okay, Now it's my turn."
The old farmer snidely smiled and said,
"Naw, I
give up. You can have the duck."
