HOW TO HANDLE LAWYERS

A big-city, California lawyer went duck hunting in rural Tenn. 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 litigator 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 US, 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 in Tennessee. We settle small disagreements like this with the
Tenn. Three-Kick Rule."

The lawyer asked, "What is the Tenn. three-Kick Rule?"

The Farmer replied. "Well, first I kick you three times and then you
kick me three times, and so on, back an 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 wiped the man's nose off his face. The
barrister was flat on his belly when 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."

(I love this..........)

The farmer smiled and said, "Naw, I give up. You can have the duck."
