A big city lawyer was called in on a case between a farmer and a large
railroad company. The farmer noticed that his prize cow was missing
from the field through which the railroad passed. He filed suit against
the railroad company for the value of the cow. The case was to be tried
before the justice of the peace in the back room of the general store.
The attorney immediately cornered the farmer and tried to get him to
settle out of court.
The lawyer did his best selling job, keeping the conversation
moving and not letting the farmer get much of a word in. The farmer
finally agreed to take half of what he was claiming to settle the case.
After the farmer signed the release and took the check, the young
lawyer couldn't help but gloat a little over his success. He said to
the farmer, "You know, I hate to tell you this, but I put one over on
you in there. I couldn't have won the case. The engineer was asleep and
the fireman was in the caboose when the train went through your farm
that morning. I didn't have one witness to put on the stand."
The old farmer replied, "Well, I'll tell you, young feller, I
was a little worried about winning that case myself. That durned cow
came home this morning!"
