Sometimes authority isn't enough...
--
An ALA officer (Agricultural Law Association) stopped at a farm in Devo and talked with an old farmer. He told him, "I need to inspect your farm for illegally grown drugs."
The farmer said, "Ok, but don't go in that field over there.....," as he pointed out the location.
The ALA officer verbally exploded saying, " Mister, I have the authority of the British Government with me!"
Reaching into his rear trouser pocket, the arrogant officer removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the farmer.
"See this f***ing 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, apologised, and went about his work.
A short time later, the old farmer heard loud screams & shouts , he looked up, and saw the ALA officer running for his life, being chased by the farmers biggest prize 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 old farmer threw down his tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of his lungs.....
(I just love this bit....)
"Your badge man , show him your f***ing BADGE........ ! !"
