Water Rep

"Water Rep"*

*So this Department of Water Resources representative
stops at a Texas ranch and talks with an old rancher.
He tells the rancher, I need to inspect your ranch for your water
allocation.

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

The Water representative says, "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 nods politely and goes about his chores.

Later, the old rancher hears loud screams and spies
the Water Rep running for his life and close behind is
the rancher's bull. The bull is gaining with every step.
The Rep is clearly terrified, so the old rancher immediately
throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his
lungs.....

"Your card! Show him your card!"

"Chief Intelligence"*

*An old Wild West fort is about to be attacked. The
wily old General sends for his trusty Indian Scout.

"Scout, you must use all your thirty years of skills
for me and try to estimate the sort of army we are up against here."

The trusty Indian Scout lays down and puts his ear to the ground.

"Large war party," he says, "maybe three hundred
braves, four chiefs, two on black stallions, two on
white stallions. Many, many guns! Medicine man also with them."

"Good grief!" exclaims the General, "you can tell
all of that just by listening to the ground?"

"NO," replied the Indian. "I can see under the gate."
