A big city lawyer went duck hunting in rural North Cowra .
He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell int o 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 litigator responded, "I shot a duck and it fell in this field,
and now I'm going to retrieve it."
The old farmer Peter replied, "This is my property, and you
are not coming over here."
The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial lawyers
in Australia and, if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you
and take everything you own."
The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know
how we settle disputes in North Cowra . 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, I get to go first. I kick you three times and then
you kick me three times and so on back and forth until
someone gives up."
The lawyer 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.
Summoning every bit of his will and remaining strength the
lawyer very slowly managed to get to his feet. Wiping his
face with the arm of his jacket, he said,
"Okay, you old fart. Now it's my turn."
(I love this part)
The old farmer smiled and said, "Nah, I give up. You can
have the duck."
When you are educated, you'll believe only half of what
you hear.
