The Department of Water Resources Representative stops at a
ranch and talks
with an old rancher. He tells the rancher, “I need to inspect your
ranch
for your water allocation”.
The old rancher says, “Okay, but don’t go in that field over
there”.
The Water Representative says, “Mister, I have the authority of
the
Federal Government with me. See this card? This card 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 nods politely and goes about his chores.
Later, the old rancher hears loud screams and sees the Water Rep
running
for his life and close behind is the rancher’s huge Brahma bull.
The
bull is gaining with every step.
The Rep is clearly terrified, so the old rancher immediately
throws down
his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his
lungs…..
“YOUR CARD, SHOW HIM YOUR CARD!!!”
