A police officer in Penticton stops at a local ranch to talk with an old rancher. He tells the rancher, “I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs.” The rancher says, “Okay, but don’t go in that field over there.”
The Police officer verbally  explodes saying, “Mister, I have the authority of the  Federal Government with me.”
Reaching into his rear  pants pocket, he removes his badge and proudly displays it to the rancher. “See this badge old man? 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  rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his  chores.

A short time later, the old rancher hears  loud screams and sees the Police officer running for his  life chased by the rancher’s big Santa Gertrudis  bull……

With every step the bull is  gaining ground on the officer, and it seems likely that he”he’ll get gored before he reaches safety. The officer is  clearly terrified. The rancher throws down his tools, runs to  the fence and yells at the top of his  lungs……

“Your badge!…… Show him your Darn BADGE!”
