Never question the authority of the government

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 ! "

Re: Never question the authority of the government

A trucker is headed the US border in mexico, when he comes across two mexican kids riding one bike,they flagged him down and one says" sir we need to get across that border we will pay you well" the trucker replied" well ill tell ya what, ive got a truckload of bowling balls and if you can survive that ride back there, climb in" they gladly accepted. They hid in the very front of the box and as they crossed the border and were riding down the highway in Texas, they were stopped by border patrol ,the officer gets out and walks up to the driver and says" what do you have for cargo? he thinks real fast and says eggs, the officer goes where did your load originate? he says Mexico , she says look, i might be blond but i aint stupid open up the back, the door swings open and there are the mexicans standing there she jumps back calls for backup, i need all the help i can get, this guy has a truck load of meixcan eggs and two have already hatched and somehow they already managed to steal a bicycle.
