The boy thought about it for a minute then asked his grandfather: "Which one wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed." You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there. -Yogi Berra "To Whom it Concerns:" To whom it concerns, Darlene's work will be late, it fell on her pancakes and stuck to her plate... To whom it concerns, my ma made me write this, and I'm just her kid, so how could I fight this... To whom it concerns, I lost my assignment, maybe I'll get lucky, solitary confinement... To whom it concerns, Darlene's great with the ball, but guys don't watch tomboys when they're cruising the hall... To whom it concerns, I just turned thirteen, too short to be quarterback, too plain to be queen... To whom it concerns, I'm not made of steel, when I get blindsided my pain is quite real... I don't mean to squawk, but it really burns... I just thought I'd mention it, to whom it concerns... ( Darlene's poem from "Roseanne") DEA INSPECTION A DEA officer stops at a ranch in Texas. He tells the old rancher, "I'm going to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs." The rancher says, "Okay, but do not go in that field over there," as he points out the location. The officer verbally explodes saying, “Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me." Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removes his badge and proudly displays it to the rancher. "See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish.... On any land. No questions asked or answers given. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand? " The rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his chores. A short time later, the old rancher hears loud screams and sees the DEA officer running for his life chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis bull...With every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer, and it seems likely that he'll get gored before he reaches safety. The officer is clearly terrified. The rancher throws down his tools, runs to the fence, grins and yells at the top of his lungs... “Your badge! Show him your BADGE!!"".
