Arrogance

[britbike1]

A DEA officer stopped at our farm yesterday, he said “I need to inspect your farm for illegal growing drugs.”
I said “Okay, but don’t go in that field over there.”
The DEA officer verbally exploded saying, “Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me!” Reaching into his rear pants pocket, the arrogant officer removed his badge and shoved it in my face. “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?!!”
I nodded politely, apologized, and went about my chores. A short time later, I heard loud screams, looked up, and saw the DEA officer running for his life, being chased by my big old mean 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.
I threw down my tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of my lungs
“Your badge, show him your BADGE!!”

Some of my early clients were well-known for cooking untaxed liquor and growing laughing lettuce on the back side of their place. Sherriff had confiscated a pick-up truck load of tow sacks filled with marijuana a few miles away.

Sheriff stops and ask the family patriarch if he knew of anyone growing marijuana in the area. Man said, “no sheriff, but if you find any, will you go halves with me?”

That even made the Sheriff belly laugh.

Thanks, britbike1! I really needed a laugh! I'm going under the knife in 12 hours for torn rotator cuff and I've been nervous all day. I had the other arm done 6 years ago; I know what to expect as far as pain and 8 months recovery/rehab. That was funny for sure!

Laughing Lettuce? Is that a brand name? Organic?

If they ever legalize it I can't wait to see the commercials.

Good luck and best wishes, Jeff. You've "been there and done that," so I'm sure it'll be the same successful slog again.

Rehab, rehab, rehab!

(Got another knee coming up next month...)

If that had been a guy from the British Customs and Excise organization, the bull would have know to run to the far corner of the field and hide.

My brother had rotator cuff surgery back in March, and we were expecting a long recovery with me staying with him for three weeks and our sister staying with him for a week. Luckily he had one of those ice water circulators that pumped the ice water through a hose into what looked like an old fashioned hot water bottle that my brother would have on his shoulder. With that machine, my brother's recovery was sped up so much that he didn't need me to take care of him for the last week I was figuring on being there and my sister didn't have to come in at all. Look into that for yourself.

I will second that I got one of those machines at my surgeons advice for my knee replacement surgery!

That unit pretty much comes standard with rotator cuff surgery. My wife, and a friend, who both used the same surgeon, were sent home with the units.
The circulator absolutely shortened the recovery time.
Also can be adapted to other body parts.

Professional courtesy?
