A State Highway employee stopped at a farm to talk with an old Iowa
farmer. He told the farmer, "I need to inspect your farm for a possible
new road."
The old farmer said, "OK, but you can't go in that field over there."
The Highway employee said, "I have the authority of the State Government
to go where I want. See this card? I am allowed to go wherever I wish
on your farm land."
So the old farmer went on about his farm chores.
Later, he heard loud screams and saw the State Highway employee running
for the fence and close behind was the farmer's prize bull. The bull
was madder than a nest full of hornets and was gaining on the employee
at every step!!
The old farmer called out, " QUICK!!!! Show him your card!!"
