Once a lawyer while hunting shoots a duck that falls into a fenced field. Walking up the the field the lawyer finds an old rancher leaning against one of the fence post. The lawyer asked if he could cross the fence to get his duck.
The old rancher 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 United States and, if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you and take everything you own."
The old rancher smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we settle disputes in Texas. We settle small disagreements with the 'Three Kick Rule.'"
The lawyer asked, "What is the 'Three Kick Rule'?"
The Rancher replied, "Well, because the dispute occurs on my land, I get to go 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 rancher slowly climbed down from his horse and walked up to the attorney. His first kick planted the toe of his cow-hide work boot into the lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees. His second kick to the midriff sent the lawyer's last meal gushing from his mouth. The lawyer was on all fours when the farmer's third kick to his rear end, sending him face-first into a fresh cow pie.
The lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet. Wiping his face with the arm of his jacket, he said, "Okay, you old fart. Now it's my turn."
The old rancher smiled and said, "Nah, I give up. You can have the duck".
