A big city lawyer 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 lawyer
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're not coming over here." The indignant lawyer said, "I am
one of the best trial attorneys in the country, 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 Texas. We settle small disagreements like this with the
Three Kick Rule." The lawyer asked, "What's 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 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 knocked out three of the lawyer's teeth.
The lawyer was on all fours when the farmer's third kick to his rear
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 smiled and said, "Naw, I give up. You can have the duck."
