Only in Ohio

An Ohio Sheriff stops at a farm in rural Ross County

and talks with an old farmer.

He tells the farmer, 'I need to inspect

your ranch for illegal grown drugs...'

The old farmer says, 'Okay, but don't go in that field over there.'

The Sheriff verbally explodes saying,

'Mister, I have the authority of the

Sheriffs Department with me.' Reaching

into his rear pant pocket and

removing his badge. The officer proudly

displays it to the farmer.

'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 old farmer nods politely and

goes about his chores.

Later, the old farmer hears loud screams

and spies the Sheriff running for

his life and close behind is the farmer's bull.

With every step the bull is gaining ground

on the officer. The Sheriff is clearly terrified.

The old farmer immediately throws down

his tools, runs to the fence and yells

at the top of his lungs.....

'Your badge!

Show him your badge Smartass!
