The badge

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 ! "

100 reads no respone. I thought it was funny! O well....:eyepop:

I'd seen it posted before here also, Richard. It was funny both times, and this time I sent it to a friend who I knew would get a kick out of it because he hates police/authority. I also told the story to my wife yesterday and she laughed. Usually she doesn't laugh when I tell her stuff that's posted here.

Thanks guys...I normally do a search before I post and try to post only what I personally find humerous. It seems a LOT of folks read and don't post...
If I find a personal vein unresponded, I try to find other more substantive material. Better still that Rod's wife also found the humor...! :bouncing:

Despite few posted replies, it was no doubt copied and pasted many times over. I know I did... :)
