[CS-FSLUG] 'Don't know if I this recently or not...still good even if I did. ; )

[Fred A. Miller]

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 power and
authority of the Federal Government with me.' Reaching into his
rear pants pocket, he removes his badge and 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 badge! Your badge! Show him your badge!'

always secretly wondered what it would be like to be taken by a Somali
pirate.
