Getting the Boot (Ming Dynasty Tale, 1368-1644)

A heavily laden woodcutter stumbled into the local doctor on a narrow       path. When the doctor drew back his fist to hit him, the woodcutter dropped       to his knees and begged, “Please kick me instead.”
      A bystander asked, “Why would you rather him kick you?”
      The terrified woodcutter replied, “Treatment by his hands would       be much deadlier than with his feet!”
