An Atlanta lawyer went duck hunt- ing in rural Tennessee. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer’s fi eld 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 fi eld, 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 Georgia 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, “Appar- ently, you don’t know how we do things in Tennessee. We settle small disagreements like this with the Tennessee Three-Kick Rule.”
