dang ole ranchers

[akflyer 1427]

An Alaska State Trooper stops at a ranch up in Palmer, Alaska and talks with the old ranch owner.

He tells the rancher, 'I need to inspect your ranch for illegal grown drugs.'

The old rancher says, 'Okay, but don't go in that field over there.'

The State Trooper verbally explodes saying, 'Mister, I have the authority

of the Federal Government with me.' Reaching into his rear pant pocket

and removing his badge. The Trooper proudly displays it to the farmer.

'See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish..on

any land. No questions asked or answered given. 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 spies the State Trooper running

for his life and close behind is the rancher's bull.

With every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer.

The Trooper is clearly terrified.

The old rancher immediately throws down his tools, runs to the fence and

yells at the top of his lungs.....

'Your badge! Show him your fucking badge!'
