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