A lawyer went duck hunting for the first time in Ireland. He shot
and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other
side of the fence.
As the lawyer climbed over the fence, Paddy
drove up on his tractor and asked him what he was doing.
The
litigator responded, "I shot a duck, it fell into this field, and
now I'm going to retrieve it."Paddy 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 UK and if you don't let
me get that duck, I'll sue you and take everything you
own."
Paddy smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how
we do things in Ireland. We settle small disagreements like this
with the Mic Three-Kick Rule."
The lawyer asked, "What is the
Mic Three-Kick Rule?"
Paddy 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.
Paddy slowly
climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the lawyer. 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 wiped
the man's nose off his face. The barrister was flat on his belly
when the Paddy'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!"
Paddy smiled and said, "No, I give up. You can have
the duck."
