The Power of the Badge.....
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 pocket, he proudly displays his badge 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 needed.
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, being 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, your badge ... Show him your BADGE!"
In his self-righteous rage, the officer had ignored
the sign posted prominently on the fence ...
Notice
I don't charge you to cross my field
But my BULL does.
