The Arrogance of Authority


A DEA officer stopped at a ranch in Texas , and talked with an old
rancher. He told the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown
drugs." The rancher said, "Okay , but don't go in that field over
there.....", as he pointed out the location.

The DEA officer verbally exploded saying, " Mister, I have the authority
of the Federal Government with me !" Reaching into his rear pants pocket,
he removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher. "See this
badge?! This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish.... On anyland
!! No questions asked or answers given!! Have I made myself clear......do
you understand ?!!"

The rancher nodded politely, apologized, and went about his chores.

A short time later, the old rancher heard loud screams, looked up, and saw
the DEA officer running for his life, being chased by the rancher's big
Santa Gertrudis bull......





With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it seemed
likely that he'd sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The
officer was clearly terrified. The rancher threw down his tools, ran to the
fence and yelled at the top of his lungs.....


"Your badge, show him your BADGE........ ! !"
