Friday Submission # 2

A Department of Water Resources representative, Philemon, stops at a Free State farm and talks with old farmer Koos.

He tells Koos, "I need to inspect your farm for the water allocation."

Koos says, "Okay, but don't go in that field over there."

Philemon says, "Meneer, I have the full authority of the ANC Government with me. See this card? This card means I am allowed to go WHEREVER I WISH on any agricultural land. No questions asked or answered. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand?"

Koos nods politely and goes about his chores. Shortly, thereafter Koos hears loud screams and spies Philemon running for his life followed close behind by the farmer's bull, gaining with every step.

Philemon is clearly terrified, and is screaming for help, so the old farmer throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs.....


"Your card! Show him your card!
