grrrrrrrr...grrrrrrrr...grrrrrrrrr
And
then there's this.
THE ARROGANCE
OF AUTHORITY
A DEA officer
stopped at a ranch in Texas to talk with an elderly 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 behind 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. See below.
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. (I just love this
part.)
Your badge, show him your BADGE!
And this is
what can happen if you don't show the bull your badge.
