A Glacier National Park Ranger
stops at a ranch in Billings, and talks with an old rancher.
He tells the rancher, “I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs.”
The old rancher says, “Okay, but don’t go in that field over there.”
The Ranger verbally explodes saying, “Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me.” Reaching into his rear pant pocket and removing his badge. The Ranger proudly displays it to the farmer.
“See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish and 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 Ranger running for his life and close behind is the rancher’s bull.
With every step the bull is gaining ground on the Ranger. The Ranger 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 badge!”
