A DEA officer stopped at our farm yesterday, he said “I need to inspect your farm for illegal growing drugs.”
I said “Okay, but don’t go in that field over there.”
The DEA officer verbally exploded saying, “Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me!” Reaching into his rear pants pocket, the arrogant officer removed his badge and shoved it in my face. “See this badge?! This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish…. On any land !! No questions asked or answers given!! Have I made myself clear?…. do you understand?!!”
I nodded politely, apologized, and went about my chores. A short time later, I heard loud screams, looked up, and saw the DEA officer running for his life, being chased by my big old mean bull…. With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it seemed likely that he’d sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified.
I threw down my tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of my lungs
“Your badge, show him your BADGE!!”

Looks just like the submarine races that were a popular spectator sport with the younger crowd back in the 60's & 70's, or so they said.

I'm visiting my little girls in London right now. 31years, 2 years and 3 months!
Chris, How the heck did you come up with grandkids as cute as that?
Wait, I don’t want to know the answer.
I’d rather spend an evening with you on a balcony somewhere in the Langdale highlands.

Thanks! It's really great to be a grandfather. I'm called pappa, like my father and grandpas were.
It's so lonely at home now that kids have left... but two dogs do a good job for lightening my moods
