talks with an old rancher.
He tells the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch
for illegally grown drugs."
The old rancher says, "Okay, but do not go in that
field over there," as he points out the location.
The DEA officer verbally explodes saying, "Mister,
I have the authority of the Federal Government with me."
Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he
removes his badge and proudly displays it to the
farmer. "See this badge? This badge means I am
allowed to go wherever I wish...on any land. No
questions asked or answers given. Have I made
myself clear? Do you understand?"
The old rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes
about his chores.
A short time later, the old rancher hears loud screams
and sees the DEA officer running for his life chased
close behind by the rancher's prize bull. With every
step the bull is gaining ground on the officer, and it
seems likely that he'll get "horned" before he reaches
safety. The officer is clearly terrified.
The old rancher throws down his tools, runs to the
fence and yells at the top of his lungs .....
"Your badge!
Show him your badge!"
Just thought I'ld share, OE
