A DEA officer  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 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 with me  !"


Reaching into his  rear pants pocket, the arrogant officer 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......

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........ !  !"
