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 don't 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? "
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!"
