A Couple of Jokes from my friend Hank Morgan:





The Buffalo Theory



No one can explain this as well as Cliff Clavin did on the TV show Cheers. One day at Cheers, Cliff was explaining the Buffalo Theory

to his buddy, Norm, and here's how it went....



"The buffalo herd can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. Thus the general speed and health of the herd keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members."



"In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells, and excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cell first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.



That's why you're always smarter after a few beers."




The Three Kick Rule



A big city California lawyer went duck hunting in rural Texas. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on

the other side of a fence. As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked him what he was doing.



The litigator responded, "I shot a duck and it fell in this field, and now I'm going in to retrieve it."



The old farmer replied. "This is my property, and you are not coming over here."



The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in the U.S. and, if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you and take

everything you own."



The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we do things in Texas. We settle small disagreements like this with the "Texas Three Kick Rule."



The lawyer asked, "What is the Texas Three Kick Rule?"



The Farmer replied. "Well, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times, and so on, back and forth, until someone gives up."



The attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old codger. He agreed to abide by the local custom. The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the city feller. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy work boot into the lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees. His second kick nearly ripped the man's nose off his face. The barrister was flat on his belly when the farmer's third kick to a kidney nearly caused him to give up.



The lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet and said, "Okay, you old coot now it's my turn."



The old farmer smiled and said, "Naw, I give up. You can have the duck."
