A DEA officer stops at a ranch in Montana ,
and talks with an old rancher. He tells the rancher, 'I need to
inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs.'
The old 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 farmer. '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 old 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 close
behind by the rancher's prize bull. With every step the bull is
gaining ground on the officer, and it seems likely that he'll get
"horned" before he reaches safety. The officer is clearly terrified. The old
rancher throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of
his lungs..... 'Your badge! Show him your badge!'
