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 old 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! "
