A Manitoba Department of Highways employee 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 in that field.'

The Highways employee said, 'I have the authority of the Province of
Manitoba 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. Just a few minutes
later, he heard loud screams and saw the Department of Highways
employee running for the fence. Close behind was the farmer's prize
bull.

The bull was madder than a nest full of hornets and the bull was
gaining on the employee at every step.

The old farmer called out, 'Show him your card!'
