On the Left Wing
KIT NAPIER
A flash Croydon lawyer decides to take his holiday course shooting on the Sussex Downs. He bags his first bird - a pigeon - but it falls into an adjacent field - he climbs over the fence to retrieve it but the local farmer, an old man, stops him.
"That's my pigeon - it's on my property" says the farmer
An argument ensues and the Croydon lawyer eventually loses his rag.
"I'll have you know that I'm one of the top 10 lawyers in London" cries the brief - "give me the pigeon or I'll sue you...and win. You'll lose your home and your farm - now give me the bird."
The old farmer shakes his head smiling.
"You don't understand friend" he says. "In these parts we still work on the old feudal system and under these laws we have a way of working out disputes. I kick you three times - you kick me three times - and so on 'till one of us gives up.
The Hot-shot lawyer sizes up to old farmer and reckons he can take him easily....so still pissed off he agrees.
Well - the farmer's first kick lands a size eleven hob-nailed boot firmly in the lawyer's groin and he falls to the floor in total agony.
The second kick connects with his jaw nearly removing it from his face. The third is planted into the kidney area.
The lawyer thinks he is about to die -he's in so much agony. But....reaching into the depths of his dark, lawyer's heart he somehow finds the strength to first, get to his knees and despite the searing pain manages to stand , albeit very shakily.
"Right you bastard" says the lawyer rubbing his hands "My turn"
The farmer smiles - "Nah - you win. You can keep the fuckin' bird"
