Funny Joke: 👨‍💼 Big City Lawyer

A big-city lawyer was representing the railroad in a lawsuit filed by an old rancher…

The rancher’s prize bull was missing from the section through which the railroad passed.

The rancher was only asking to be paid the fair value of the bull…

The case was scheduled to be tried before the justice of the peace at the courthouse located in the town’s square.

The railroad’s attorney immediately cornered the rancher and tried to get him to settle out of court…

He did his best selling job, and finally the rancher agreed to take half of what he was originally asking.

After the rancher had signed the release and accepted the check, the young lawyer couldn’t resist gloating a little over his success…

He tells the rancher, “You are really a country hick, old man, I sure put one over on you in there… “

“You see, I couldn’t have won the case.”

“The engineer was asleep, and the fireman was in the caboose when the train went through your ranch that morning… “

“I didn’t have one witness to put on the stand.”

“I bluffed you!”

The old rancher replied, “Well, I’ll tell you young feller, I was a little worried about winning that case myself… “

“Cuz that darned bull came home this morning.”
