A Department of Water representative stopped at a ranch and talked
with an old rancher.
He told the rancher, 'I need to inspect your ranch for your water
allocation.'
The old rancher said, 'Okay, 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, the old rancher heard loud screams and saw the Water Rep
running for the fence.....and close behind was the rancher's bull.
The bull was gaining on the
Water Rep 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!'
