Show Your Card
A Department of Water representative stopped at a ranch and talked with
its owner. He told the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for your
water allocation." The old man said, "OK , 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, he heard
loud screams and saw the Water Rep running for the fence; close behind was
the rancher's huge-horned prize bull. The bull was gaining 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!"
