>There was once a Scotsman and an Englishman who lived next door >to each other. The Scotsman owned a hen and each morning would >look in his garden and pick up one of his hens eggs for breakfast. > >One day he looked into his garden and saw that the hen had laid >an egg in the Englishman's garden. He was about to go next door >when he saw the Englishman pick up the egg. > >The Scotsman ran up to the Englishman and told him that the egg >belonged to him because he owned the hen. The Englishman disagreed >because the egg was laid on his property. > >They argued for a while until finally the Scotsman said, In my >family we normally solve disputes by the following actions: >"I kick you in the balls and time how long it takes you to get >back up, then you kick me in the balls and time how long it >takes for me to get up, whomever gets up quicker wins the egg." > >The Englishman agreed to this and so the Scotsman found his >heaviest pair of boots and put them on, he took a few steps back, >then ran toward the Englishman and kicked as hard as he could >right between his legs. > >The Englishman fell to the floor clutching himself and howling >in agony for 30 minutes. > >Eventually the Englishman stood up and said, "Now its my turn to kick >you." > >The Scotsman said, "Keep the damn egg."
