Topic: Circle Flies

[Clive]

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 problems 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
horses 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 horses 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."
