A DEA Agent 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 says, “Okay, but do not 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 displays 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 and saw the DEA Agent running for his life, chased by the rancher’s big Santa Gertrudis bull……

With  every step the bull was gaining ground on the agent, and it seemed likely that he’d get gored before he reached safety. The agent was clearly terrified. The rancher threw down his  tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of his lungs…..

“Your badge. Show him your BADGE!”
