A drug enforcement 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 farmer 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. "See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish.... On any land. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand? "
The farmer nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his chores.
A short time later, the old farmer hears loud screams and sees the DEA officer running for his life chased close behind by the farmer'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 farmer throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs.....
" Your badge. Show him your BADGE!!!"
