The Lawyer Who Got Outsmarted by a Farmer
A very famous lawyer went out to the suburbs to hunt wild ducks. He managed to shoot one down, but it fell into a private farm. As the lawyer climbed over the fence to retrieve it, a farmer stopped him and asked:
“What are you doing here?”
“I shot a duck, it fell in here, and I’ve come to get it back,” the lawyer replied.
“But this is my land, and you can’t just do that,” the farmer insisted.
The lawyer sneered, “I am the best lawyer in the city. If you don’t let me take that duck, I’ll sue you and take you to court!”
The farmer smiled and said, “It seems you don’t know the rules around here. We settle small disputes with a game.”
“And how does this game work?” the lawyer asked.
“It’s like this: first, I kick you three times, and then you kick me back three times. We go back and forth until one person gives up.”
The lawyer thought for a moment and decided to play along, thinking he could easily overpower the old farmer. The farmer stepped up and delivered three thunderous kicks that sent the lawyer sprawling to the ground.
Full of rage and pain, the lawyer staggered to his feet and snarled:
“Now, old man, it’s my turn to kick you!”
The farmer grinned mischievously and said:
“No thanks, I give up. You can take the duck.”
I saw a homeless man & I asked him if I gave him $20 would you buy booze?
He said no he hadn’t had a beer in years.
Then I said if I give you $20 will you buy hunting gear?
He again said no, he stopped hunting 5 years ago.
So then I said I’ll do you better than $20.
I’ll take you home and let you all clean up.
My wife will cook a fantastic meal for you.
Then I’ll bring you back & still give you $20.
He asked me wouldn’t she get mad?
I said it didn’t matter.
I just wanted her to see what happens to a man when he stops drinking & hunting!
