A big-city California lawyer went duck hunting in rural Texas. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmers 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 into this field, and now Im 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 U.S. and, if you dont let me get that duck, Ill sue you and take everything you own. |
