A big Joburg city lawyer went guinea fowl hunting in rural Zululand. 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 old Boer drove up on his tractor and asked him what he thought he was 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 attorneys in the South Africa and if you don't let me get that guinea fowl, 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 this part of the country. We settle small disagreements like this with the Hoosier "Three Kick Rule." The lawyer asked, "What is the Hoosier' Three Kick Rule'?"
The Farmer replied, "Well, because the dispute occurs on my land, 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 Boer. He agreed to abide by the local custom.
The old Boer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the attorney. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy steel-toed 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 face-first into a fresh pile of cow dung.
The lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get onto feet. Wiping his face with the arm of his jacket, he said, "Okay, you! old Fart. Now it's my turn." The old Boer smiled and said 'HelI, man, I give up.You can have the duck."
