Joke - Put One Over On You
22 October 2007A 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 wich the railroad passed. The rancher only wanted to be paid for the fair value of the bull.
The case was scheduled to be tried before the justice of the peace in the back room of the general store. The attorney for the railroad immediately cornered the rancher to get him to settle out of court. The lawyer did his best selling job. And finally the rancher decided to take half of what the bull was worth. The lawyer cut him a check.
After the rancher had signed the release and taken the check, the young lawyer couldn’t resist gloating a little over his success, telling the rancher. “You know, I hate to tell you this, old man, but I put one over on you in there. There is no way I could have won the case. The engineer was asleep at from smoking too much dope, and the fireman was passed out 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 man, I was a little worried about winning the case myself, because that darned bull came home this morning.”
