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!"
