Arrivals of Inspector

An agricultural inspector arrives unannounced at Dave’s farm on the Hay Plain. Completely full of himself, the inspector introduces himself to Dave with a pompous opening. Holding his badge in an out-stretched arm the inspector says: “See this badge here? It allows me to enter any farm, for any purpose, at any time.” In a way typical of so many Australians, Dave is nonchalant. He lets the inspector roam the farm. A little later Dave hears yelps from the top paddock. The inspector had upset Dave’s prize bull and the bull is charging down on the running inspector. The inspector yells out to Dave: “What should I do?” {image from pexels.com, free and unattributable} Dave yells back: “Show him your badge”.
