THE DEA OFFICER

*A DEA officer stops at a ranch in Montana ,
and talks with an old rancher. He tells the rancher,
'I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs.'
*The old 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 farmer.*
*'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 old 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 close behind by the rancher'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 old rancher throws
down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top
of his lungs.....
'Your HIM your badge! Show him your badge, smartass!!'
