ebaycom deals 37 – duck hunting
A big city California lawyer went duck hunting in rural New South
Wales. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's
paddock 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 into 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 States 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 do things up here in the Northern Rivers. We settle small
disagreements like this with the Dorrigo Three Kick Rule."
The lawyer asked, "What is the Dorrigo Three Kick Rule?"
The Farmer replied. "Well, 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 city feller.
His first kick planted the toe of his heavy work boot into the
lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees. His second kick
nearly ripped the man's nose off his face. The barrister was flat
on his belly then the farmer's third kick to a kidney nearly
caused him to give up.
The lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to
his feet and said, "Okay, you old coot - now it's my turn."
The old farmer smiled and said, "Nah, I give up. You can have the
duck."
