A Department of Water representative stopped at a ranch and talked with an old rancher. He told the rancher, 'I need to inspect your ranch for your water allocation.'
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 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!"
UPDATE: I forgot to add that this is from the usual suspect, Doug.
Good 'un. I even stole it to help start off my blog.
ReplyDeletehahahahaha!
ReplyDeletevery good.
Oh, I liked this one. I suppose Doug doesn't actually write these. As he is my source, I assume he has sources.
ReplyDeleteKishnevi, congratulations on starting a blog.
Great antidote to all the dreary news I've been posting. You (and Doug) may have kept my head from exploding. Thanks, Mimi!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mimi. And you have the honor of being the first commenter.
ReplyDeleteKishnevi, is there a prize? 'Tis an honor, indeed!
ReplyDeleteMwa ha ha ha. Hope it's okay that I'm laughing at it on Sunday morning! (Mr. PJ is golfing and Young PJ only wants to build things with Lego. And it's raining.)
ReplyDeleteBut I'm back on the blogs, wooohoooo!
