A federal government water resources inspector went out to a Texas ranch to investigate water use at the large Texas property.
The old rancher met him in the drive and told him that he appreciated and understood his job, but that there was one irrigated pasture that the government man simply would not be able to inspect or check out.
The government man became a little irritated and said, "What do you mean I can't inspect or check it out?"
The inspector then pulled out his official government ID and told the rancher,
"You see this ID? It says here that I represent the United States Federal Government and that in the execution of my duties for inspecting water resource use I can inspect and analyze any part of your, or anyone else's property to ensure that there are no violations.
"So I WILL be looking at that pasture...and now I'm going to make sure and look at it particularly close."
The old rancher simply said, "OK, suite yourself."
About ten minutes later the old rancher was startled by a wild yell coming from the field in question.
When he looked over towards the field, he saw the government man being chased and rapidly overtaken by the rancher's large Brahma bull.
The rancher chuckled to himself and then cupped his hands to his moutth and yelled,
"Be sure and show HIM your official government ID card. See what he thinks of it!"
Didn't Walt Disney invent this guy? Name starts with a "G" or some such (a-hyuk).
LOL GOOD ONE.
Cows obviously like "bad boys", just as many young women seem to.
