Just For Laugh II

Perhaps you folks have heard of this joke before via forward mailing. I love it so much due to the accuracy it somewhat portraits in the story in relation to real life situation that I went on to save it. I could not remember who sent it and where it originates. That was about a year ago. Somehow, I cannot recall which folder I place it in and totally forgotten about its existence. Now a year later while I am cleaning up my hard disk and clearing unnecessary files, imagine my surprise when I re-discover it unexpectedly.

I decided to post it in case I forgot cos it is an uplifting inspiration to me, as I tend to encounter many people of such characters. Sigh...what does that says about the attitude of people nowadays.

A big city New York lawyer went duck hunting in rural West Virginia. 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 in 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 inthe 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 West Virginia. We settle small disagreements like this with The West Virginia Three Kick Rule."
The lawyer asked, "What is the West Virginia 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. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy work boot into the lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees. His second kick nearly ripped 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."
(I love this part......)
The old farmer smiled and said, "Nah... I give up. You can have the duck"


MORAL OF THE STORY IS :
DON'T BE ARROGANT AND THINK NOBODY IS SMARTER THAN YOU.

Michael Chua-- You know, this sort of reminds me of the Channel News Asia show of MM Lee Kuan Yew dialogue with young voters.

Experience is irreplaceable.
