Conflict Resolution
There was once an Englishman and a Scotsman who
lived next door to each other. The Englishman 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
Scotsman's garden. He was about to go next door when he saw the Scotsman pick up
the egg. The Englishman ran up to the Scotsman and told him that the egg
belonged to him because he owned the hen. The Scotsman disagreed because the egg
was laid on his property.
They argued for a while until finally the Englishman said "In my family we
normally solve disputes by the following message: 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 Scotsman agreed to this and so the English man found his heaviest pair of
boots and put them on, he took a few steps back, then ran toward the Scotsman
and kicked as hard as he could in the balls. The Scotsman fell to the floor
clutching his nuts howling in agony for 30 minutes.
Eventually the Scotsman stood up and said "Now it's my turn to kick you."
The Englishman said "Keep the !@#%#$@#$!@% egg."
