OK. *Even I* remember (though vaguely) that this is not a new one. But,
it's still funny...
From: M.D.
A Texas Department of Water representative stopped at a ranch and
talked with an old rancher. He told the rancher, "I need to inspect
your ranch to verify that you are following your water allocation
rules."
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? This 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 Water Rep was clearly terrified, so the old rancher immediately
threw down his tools, ran to the fence and shouted out...
"Your card! Show him your card!"
