A Department of Water representative stopped at a Texas ranch and talked
with its owner.
He told the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for your
water allocation." The old man said, "OK, but
don't go in that field over there."
The Water representative said, "Mister, I have the authority of
the Federal Government with me. See this card? The 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 nodded politely and went about his chores.
Later, he heard loud screams and saw the Water Rep running for the
fence; close behind was the rancher's huge-horned prize
bull. The bull was gaining with every step. The Rep was
clearly terrified, so the old rancher immediately threw down
his tools, ran to the fence and shouted out...
"Your card! Your card! Show him your card!"
those darn farmers
