* * * * * * The Arrogance of Authority

A DEA officer stopped at a ranch in Texas , and talked with an old rancher.
He told the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs."
The rancher said, "Okay , but don't go in that field over there.....", as he pointed out the location.

The DEA officer verbally exploded saying, " Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me !"
Reaching into his rear pocket, he removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher.
"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 ?!!"

The rancher nodded politely, apologized, and went about his chores.

A short time later, the old rancher heard loud screams, looked up, and saw the DEA officer running for his life, being chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis 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.
The rancher threw down his tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of his lungs..... * * * * * * * *

(I just love this part....) *

"Your badge, show him your BADGE........ ! !"

Maybe it's old but still in the spirit of the topic.

"U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln and the lighthouse

This is based on an actual radio conversation between a U.S. Navy
aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian authorities
off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. (The radio
conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on
10/10/95 authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.)

Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to
avoid collision.

Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the
North to avoid a collision.

Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15
degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again,
divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND
LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE
ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS
SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES
NORTH--I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH--OR
COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call."


I'm pretty sure it's an urban myth.

A condom factory burns down in the States (the largest one).*

President Obama is awoken at*4am*by the telephone.

"Sorry to bother you at this hour, Sir, but there is an emergency! I've
just received word that the Durex factory in*Washington*has burned to the
ground. It is estimated that the entire*USA*supply of condoms will be gone
by the end of the week."
*
Obama: "Oh Damn! The economy will never be able to cope with all those
unwanted babies. We'll be ruined. We'll have to ship some in from*Mexico."*
*
Telephone voice says, "Bad idea.... The Mexicans will have a field day with
this one. We'll be a laughing stock. What about*Canada?"*
*
Obama: "Okay, I'll call Stephen Harper and tell him we need five million
condoms, ten inches long and three inches thick. That way, they'll continue
to respect us as Americans."
*
Three days later, a delighted President Obama runs out to open the first of
the 10,000 boxes that had just arrived.
*
He finds five million condoms, 10 inches long and 3 inches thick, just as
requested.....all coloured red and white with small writing on each one:
*
'MADE IN*CANADA*- SIZE MEDIUM'
