A DEA officer stops at a ranch in Texas, and talks with an old rancher.
He tells the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs."
The 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 rancher. "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 rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his chores.
A short time later, the rancher hears loud screams and sees the DEA officer
running for his life - chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis bull...
With every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer, and it seems likely
that he'll get gored before he reaches safety. The officer is clearly terrified.
The rancher
throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs...
"Your badge! Show him your BADGE!" |
