Joke for Week of July 24-30

A lawyer was out duck hunting. He shot a duck that landed in a farmer’s field. Just as he was climbing the fence to retrieve it, the farmer drove up on his tractor and asked what he was doing. The lawyer explained that he shot a duck and wanted to pick it up. The farmer told him that the duck was on his property and he would not let him have the duck.

Thinking he could scare the farmer, the hunter told of his profession and threatened to sue the farmer for the duck. The farmer explained that in his neck of the woods things were settled with the three kick rule. After the lawyer inquired what that meant, the farmer explained that he would kick the lawyer three times, the lawyer could then kick him three times and they would alternate kicking until one of them gave up.

Thinking he could take the farmer the lawyer agreed to the terms. First the farmer kicked the lawyer in the stomach so hard it made him bend over in pain. He then kicked him in the rump causing him to fall to the ground. Finally he kicked him in the face and broke his nose.

He was in bad shape but stood to take his turn. Imagine his surprise when the farmer said, “I give up, you can have the duck.”
