A DEA agent 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 points and says, "Okay, but do not go in that field  over there."  
 
The DEA agent verbally explodes: "Mister, I have the authority of the  federal government behind 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 agent  running for his life while being chased 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 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!!
