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 any land !! 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.....
LOVE this part.....it gave me the smile I needed today......
"SHOW HIM YOUR BADGE!!!"
I think he might need more than a badge!
Ahem. You can’t get gored by a hornless bull. Just sayin’
Too true to be funny... ;)
Depends on what he is using to gore you with and where!
No, but he could still mess you up pretty good!
I hope his badge wasn’t red in color - LOL.
That’s a lot of bull.
LOL...maybe not, but I bet it sure can trample you to death!
