"Cattle Suit" joke

When a farmer noticed that his prize cow was missing from a field through which a railroad passed, he filed suit against the railroad company. A big-city lawyer was called in by the company and immediately tried to get the farmer to settle out of court. The farmer finally agreed to take half of what he was claiming to settle the case. After the farmer signed the release and took the check, the lawyer couldn't help but gloat a little over his success.

He said to the farmer, "I hate to tell you this, but I couldn't have won the case. I didn't have one witness."

The old farmer replied, "Well, I'll tell you, I was a little worried myself. That darn cow came home this morning!"
