  ------- Forwarded foolishness follows -------

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 only wanted to be paid
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 and tried
to get him to settle out of court. The lawyer did his best selling job,
and finally the rancher agreed to take half of what he was asking.

After the rancher had signed the release and took 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. 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, because that durned bull
came home this morning."
