THE POWER OF A COP'S BADGE

A DEA officer stops at a ranch in Texas , and talks to an old rancher. He tells the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown marijuana, peyote or psychedelic mushrooms." The rancher says, "Okay, but don't 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 DEA badge and proudly displays it to the rancher. "See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I want!! On any land!! No questions asked or answers given!! Have I made myself clear?!! Do you understand what this badge means?!!"

The rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his chores.

Naturally, the first place he headed for was the field the rancher told him not to go to. 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 he'll get "horned" before he reaches safety. The officer is clearly terrified!!

The rancher throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs . . . . . . . .

“YOUR BADGE!! SHOW HIM YOUR BADGE!!!”
