The Power Of The Badge.

[Robby nz]

A member of the RCMP DEA drives up to a ranch in Penticton, BC. He talks with an old rancher.

He tells 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 points out the location.

The Police officer verbally explodes saying, " Mister,

I have the authority of the Federal Government with me."

Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removes his badge and proudly

displays it to the rancher. "See this badge old man?

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 nods politely, apologizes,

and goes about his chores.

A short time later, the old rancher hears loud screams and sees the Police officer

running for his life chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis bull......

With every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer,

and it seems likely that he'll get gored 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, YOUR BADGE, SHOW HIM YOUR BADGE

the funny thing is that, at some stage, we've all met some pompous idiot whose position makes him think that he can do whatever he wishes........ good joke robby
