Respect for authority

Hat tip to my pal Todd!

An RCMP officer stops at a ranch up in Iron Mountain , B.C. 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 RCMP officer verbally explodes saying, ‘Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me.’

Reaching into his rear pants pocket and removing his badge, the officer brandishes it at 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 rancher nods politely and goes about his chores.

Later, the old rancher hears loud screams and spies the RCMP officer running for his life and close behind is the rancher’s bull.

With every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer. The officer 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 fuckin’ badge!’
