A Department of Water Resources inspector stopped at a rural farm and talked with an old farmer. He told the farmer, 'I need to inspect your farm for your water allocation.'
The old farmer said, 'OK, but don't go in that field over there.'
The Water Inspector said, ' Look Mister, I have the authority of the Provincial 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 quite clear? Do you understand?'
The old farmer nodded politely and went about his farm chores.
Later, the old farmer heard loud screams and saw the Water Inspector running
for the fence and close behind was the farmer's huge-horned prize bull.
The bull was gaining on the Water Inspector with every step who was clearly terrified, so the old farmer immediately threw down his tools, ran to the fence and shouted out ..... 'Your card! Your card! Show him your card!'
