Government
Another example of what a little bit of authority will do
for people-----
A Department of Water representative stopped at a
ranch and talked with an
old rancher. He told the rancher, 'I need to
inspect your ranch for your
water allocation.' The old rancher said,
'Okay, but don't go in that field over there.'
The Water representative said, 'Mister, I have the
authority of Federal
Government with me. See this badge? It means I am
allowed to go WHEREVER
I WISH on any agricultural land. No questions asked or
answered. 'Have I
made myself clear? Do you understand?'
The old rancher nodded politely and went about his
chores. Later, the old
rancher heard loud screams and saw the Water Rep
running for the fence and
close behind was the rancher's bull. The bull was
gaining on the Water Rep
with every step. The Rep was clearly terrified, so the
old man immediately threw down his tools, ran to the fence
and shouted out.....'Your badge! Your badge! Show
him your badge!'
