The Official Texas Sheriff Exam

[kevjohn]

A young Texan grew up wanting to be a law man. He grew up big, 6' 2", strong as a longhorn,and fast as mustang.

He could shoot a bottle cap tossed in the air at 40 paces.

When he finally came of age, he applied to where he had only dreamed of working: the West Texas Sheriff's Department.

After a series of tests and interviews, the Chief Deputy finally called him into his office for the young man's last interview.

The Chief Deputy said, "You're a big strong kid and you can really shoot. So far your qualifications all look good,

but we have, what you might call, an "Attitude Suitability Test", that you must take before you can be accepted.

We just don't let anyone carry our badge, son."

Then, sliding a service pistol and a box of ammo across the desk, the Chief said, "Take this pistol and go out

and shoot six illegal aliens, six lawyers, six meth dealers, six Muslim extremists and a rattlesnake."

"Why the snake?" queried the applicant.

"You pass," said the Chief Deputy. "When can you start?"
