The three kick rule!

A big city lawyer went duck hunting in rural North Alberta. 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 lawyers in Canada 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 settle disputes in Alberta. We settle small disagreements with the help of ‘Three Kick Rule.’”

The lawyer asked, “What is the ‘Three Kick Rule’?”

The farmer 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 lawyer 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 attorney. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy steel-toed 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, sent him into the mud.  Summoning every bit of his will and remaining strength, the lawyer very slowly managed to get to his feet. Wiping his face with the arm of his jacket, he said, “Okay, now it’s my turn!”  The old farmer smiled and said, “Nah, I give up! You can have the duck.”

 

Freddy thinks out of the box!

Fred: “Why do elephants wear red nail polish?”

Bob: “I don’t know, why?”

Fred: “To hide in cherry trees.”

Bob: “But I’ve never seen an elephant in a cherry tree.”

Fred: “See, it works.”

 Arrested on the charge of ‘unlicensed firearm’

A man is filling up his car tank with gasoline and accidentally gets some on his hand. He doesn’t notice it, so when he gets into his car, he lights a cigarette. His arm instantly catches fire. The man sticks his arm out the window and begins to wave it around in an attempt to blow out the flames crawling up his sleeve. A policeman sees the man struggling with his arm on fire and arrests him on the spot for an unlicensed firearm.
