The Power of a   Badge       DEA officer stops at a  ranch in Texas , 
  
 and 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 DEA 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?  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 DEA 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! 
  Show him your BADGE ! "
