The old Rancher

    An ATF 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.'
    The ATF 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 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, says okay and goes about his chores.
    A short time later, the old rancher hears loud screams. He looks across the field and sees the ATF 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's clearly terrified and is yelling, 'Don't just stand there do something, help me".

    The old rancher yells at the top of his lungs.................'Show him your badge!'
