bringing the somewhat funny.

A Missouri Sheriff stops at a ranch in rural MO

       and talks with an old farmer.

       He tells the farmer, 'I need to inspect

       your ranch for illegal grown drugs.'

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

       The Sheriif verbally explodes saying,

       'Mister, I have the authority of the

       Sheriffs Department with me.' Reaching

       into his rear pant pocket and

       removing his badge. The officer 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 answers given.

       Have I made myself clear?

       Do you understand?'

       The old farmer nods politely and

       goes about his chores.

       Later, the old farmer hears loud screams

       and spies the Sheriff running for

       his life and close behind is the farmer's bull.

       With every step the bull is gaining ground

       on the officer. The Sheriff is clearly terrified.

       The old farmer immediately throws down

       his tools, runs to the fence and yells

       at the top of his lungs.....

       'Your badge!

       Show him your badge Smartas!
