A farmer was doing his every day chores when a government vehicle pulled into his yard. A man in a suit identified himself as an inspector with the federal Pollution Control Agency. "I am here to inspect your property for possible contaminates that may be affecting the water, soil, or air quality", the man said.
"OK", the farmer said, "Just stay out of that pasture on the other side of the barn."
In an instant, the inspector opened his lapel flashing a badge. "Look closely at this badge," He said. "This badge gives me the authority to go anywhere, do anything I so please without any arguments. I don't have to ask you. If I want to inspect a portion of your property, I will and you have nothing to say about it!" Of course, the pasture on the other side of the barn was his first place to check out.
The farmer shrugged his shoulders and returned to his chores.
It was only a few minutes later when the farmer heard screams. The PCA inspector was running for his life with the farmer's Holstein bull hot on his heals. The farmer hollered at the man, "Show him your badge! Show him your badge!"
