Circle Flies
A farmer got pulled over by a state trooper for
speeding and the trooper started to lecture the farmer
about his speed, and in general began to throw his
weight
around to try to make the farmer uncomfortable.
Finally the trooper got around to writing out the
ticket, and as he was doing that, he kept swatting at
some flies that
were buzzing around his head.
The farmer said, "Having some problem with circle
flies there, are ya?"
The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said, 'Well
yeah, if that's what they are. I never heard of circle
flies."
So the farmer says. "Well, circle flies are common on
farms. See, they're called circle flies because
they're almost always found circling around the back
end of a
horse.
The trooper says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the
ticket. Then after a minute he stops and says, "Hey,
wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horse's
ass?"
The farmer says, "Oh, no, officer. I have too much
respect for law enforcement and police officers to
even think about calling you a horse's ass."
The trooper says, "Well that's a good thing", and goes
back to writing the ticket.
After a long pause the farmer says, "Hard to fool them
flies though."
