A big-city California 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."

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 U.S. 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 Texas. We settle small disagreements like this with the Texas Three-Kick Rule."

The lawyer asked, "What is the Texas 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. The first kick dropped the lawyer to his knees. The 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."

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

:d

And how often have you managed to kick Cat over your modem? :p

Heh, sorta clever and a few years old, and really nothing to do with The Cat-Tribe, but, hey whateva.
The Cat-Tribe ROCKS.

Narf.

Well, it IS about a SoCal Lawyer, so when I got it in the mail I immediately thought of Cat - since I don't know where Lacodaemon lives.

Besides, he still "wins" the argument doesn't he? :D

Wow. That was conspicuously devoid of funny.

*LAME JOKE*
Anyone try Dog-Nation? Because, ya know, dogs are tactically superior, more productive(don't sit on their butts all day), and nations clearly are able to marshal resources better than tribes.
*LAME JOKE*


I feel better now. :p

Wow. That was conspicuously devoid of funny.

First off you would need a sense of humor to get it.

amusing.

But the only reason CT is tough to debate is he dedicates his life to the stuff he debates, most other people do it on the random.

There would still need to be humour to trigger the sense.

I think it's amusing. Of course, I think tape is amusing...

Of course, I think tape is amusing...

Applied to sufficiently hirsute surfaces, it is.

There would still need to be humour to trigger the sense.It's funny because Cat (hopefully) knows I respect his opinions and research even when I disagree with his conclusions.

Besides, If we can't make fun of lawyers we like, who can we make fun of?

(Did you hear the one about the 2 Ethnicanians...? :rolleyes: )

I didn't say you couldn't make fun of lawyers or whomever. I said it just wasn't a funny "joke."

And he gets money for doing it too.

I suspect this joke has migrated somewhat though. I'm not aware of anyone on the US side of the Atlantic who calls a lawyer a barrister.
