Montana Duck




Johnny Cochran was duck hunting in Montana recently when he attempted
to cross a fence into a field to retrieve a duck he had shot.  A
farmer suddenly pulled up in his pick-up truck, jumped out, and asked
Mr. Cochran what he was doing on his property.

"Retrieving this duck that I just shot", he replied.  "That duck is
on my side of the fence, so now it's mine," replied the farmer.

Mr. Cochran asked the farmer if he recognized who he was talking to.

"No", replied the farmer, "I don't know, and I don't care."

"I'm Johnny Cochran, famous lawyer from Los Angeles", came the reply.
"I'm the lawyer that got O.J. Simpson off.  I'm the reason he is a
free man today.  And if you don't let me get that duck, I can sue you
for your farm, your truck, and everything else you own.  I'll leave
you penniless on the street."

"Well," said the farmer, "In Montana the only law we go by is the '3
kicks law'."

"Never heard of it", said Johnny.

The farmer said, "I get to kick you 3 times, and if you make it back
to your feet and are able to kick me back 3 times, that duck is
yours".

Cochran thought this over.  He grew up in a tough neighborhood and
figured he could take this old farmer.  "Fair enough", he said.

So the farmer kicked Johnny violently in the groin.  As he was
doubling over, the farmer kicked him in the face, and when he hit the
ground, he kicked him hard in the ribs.

After several moments, Johnny slowly made it back to his feet.  "All
right, now it's my turn", said Johnny.

"Aw, forget it", said the farmer. "You can have the duck."
