Yesterday a Lawman stopped at our farm...
He says, "I need to inspect your farm to see if you are breaking any laws."
I said, "Okay, but don't go into that field over there....."
The Lawman verbally exploded saying, "Mister, I have the authority of the LAW with me!" Reaching into his rear pants pocket, the arrogant donkey removed his badge and shoved it in my face. "See this Badge?! This badge means I'm allowed to go wherever I wish... On any land! No questions asked or answers given. Have I made myself clear?! Do you understand?!"
I nodded politely, apologized and went about my chores. A short time later, I heard screaming, looked up, and saw the Lawman running for his life, being chased by my big, old, mean bull... With every step the bull was gaining ground on the man, and it seemed likely that he sure enough would get gored before he reached safety. The Lawman was clearly terrified.
I threw down my tools, ran for the fence, and yelled at the top of my lungs...
"Your badge! Show him your BADGE!!"
