The Rancher's Bull Was Missing

 

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 to 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.”
