The Arrogance of Authority

Plazaman

A Dept.of Agriculture officer stopped at a farm in Cork, and talked with an old farmer.

He told the farmer, "I need to inspect your farm for illegally grown drugs."
The farmer said, "Okay , but don't go in that field over there.....", as he pointed out the location.

The D.of A. officer verbally exploded saying, " Mister, I have the authority of the Irish Government with me !"

Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removed his badge and proudly displayed 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 farmer nodded politely, apologized, and went about his chores.

A short time later, the old old man heard loud screams, looked up, and saw the D of A officer running for his life, being chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis bull......

With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it seemed likely that he'd sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified.

The farmer threw down his tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of his lungs.....

" Quick...Your badge, show him your fúcking BADGE........ ! !"
