An agent from the Drug Enforcement Administration stops at a ranch 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 don't go in that small field over there."
The agent verbally explodes, saying, "Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me. Reaching into his pocket and removing his DEA badge, the agent proudly displays it to the farmer. "See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish... on ANY land, with no questions asked or answers given. Have I made myself clear? DO you understand?"
The old rancher nods politely and goes about his chores.
Later, the old rancher hears loud screams and spies the agent running for his life with the rancher's bull close behind. With every step the bull is gaining ground on the and the agent is clearly terrified.
The old rancher immediately throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs... "Your badge! Show him your badge!"
