A Department of Water representative stopped at a farm and talked with an old farmer. He told the farmer, “I’m going to inspect your farm for your current water allocation.’
The farmer said, “OK, but don’t go in that field over yonder.”
The water representative said “Look here, old man, I have the full authority of the federal government with me! See this card? This little card means I am allowed to go wherever I want, whenever I want, on any agricultural land. No questions asked or answered! Have I made myself perfectly clear? Do you understand? I need nothing but this card to go anywhere on your property.”
The farmer nodded politely and went about his farm chores. A few minutes later, the old farmer heard loud screams and saw the water rep running for the fence. And running close behind and gaining ground fast, was the farmer’s prize bull.
The bull was gaining on the water representative with every step. So the farmer ran to the fence and shouted out:
“Your card! Your card! Show him your card!”
