A Texas joke!!!!


A Texas lawyer was bird hunting near a farm in Oregon. He shoots a bird and it falls on the land owned by an elderly farmer. The farm has been in the family for over a hundred years. There are several signs stating “NO HUNTING WITH OUT PERMISSION” all around the property.

The lawyer starts to climb through the fence to retrieve the bird. The farmer climbs off his tractor and says “You can’t go on my property with out my permission.” The lawyer said “I own the biggest law firm in Texas and I will sue you for all your land if you do not let me get the bird.” The farmer says “No, you can not get the bird.”

The farmer says, “Let’s make a deal for the bird.” The lawyer says “Sure what kind of deal?” The farmer says “Ok, we kick each other in sets of three; the first to give up gets the bird.” The lawyer thinks to himself he can take three kicks and then kick this old farmer’s ass and agrees to the deal.

First the farmer kicks the lawyer in the groin. The lawyer bends over in great agony. As he bends over the farmer kicks him in the ribs. The lawyer falls to the ground and then the farmer kicks the lawyer in the side of the head. The lawyer falls completely to the ground in a great deal of pain.

The lawyer slowly gets to his feet and says, “See, you old codger, I did not give up, now it’s your turn.” The farmer looks at the lawyer and says, “I give up, you can have the bird.” He gets back on his tractor and slowly drives away.

OK, let me try.

A Kentucky cattle farmer is talking with a Texas rancher. He says "I've got a hundred acres of hill side so steep the cows left legs are a foot shorter then their rights so they can stand upright.

The Texan says "Well let me tell you about my spread. I can get in my truck at sunrise, head toward the horizon, and at sunset I'm still on my own place.

To which the Kentuckian replies "Yep, I know what you mean. I had a truck like that once.

I just have to put in my .02. I have had an earing since before it was fashionable for guys to wear them (1980 or so) I have always liked the old sailor mythology surrounding the wearing of a gold earing. There is just something about the constant reminder that when you do get to the other side, you're not gonna be able to take anything with you except maybe that little bit of gold to pay the ferryman.

Just a few weeks ago, I was out at HFD, and talking to some old codger (I mean that in the most respectful sense, BTW), and he started to give me grief about the earing. It kind of took ne aback, as I haven't had anybody say anything about it for a long, long time.

Some of you probably read the same article I did a year of two ago in either Flying, Sport Aviation or AOPA about a group of guys that get together once a year and go flyng out in the Idaho area, I think. Ford joined them and no one necessarily knows what the other guy does for a living, but of course most knew what he did. Person writing the article said he was a really down to earth guy. A now deceased friend of mine used to instruct for PIC (instrument training). He had the occasion several times to give the 3 day recurrent training to Tom Landry and he said Landry was salt-of-the earth folks. He also gave the 10 day training and a couple of years later did the recurrent training with the actor (naturally I can't call his name until after I send this), but he is married to Goldie Hawn. He stayed in their home both times and said they seemed as normal as most other couples even though they were multi millionaires. So I guess this is to say that even among celeb's there are some good ones. AND I don't understand the tatoo's either. Its none of my business, but I think it makes a lot of women look cheap. Maybe I am just joining the fraternity of old codgers who used to tell me that the world was going to hell in a handbasket

"The rich are different than us."

"yes, they have more money."

I had the opportunity to meet Harrison F sans earring when he met with the fire crews (including me) after the Green Knoll fire near Wilson, WY (and his ranch.) Cool guy.
