After pulling a farmer over for speeding, a state trooper
started to lecture him about his speed, pompously implying
that the farmer didn't know any better and trying to make
him as uncomfortable as possible.
He finally started to write out the ticket, but had to keep
swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head.
The farmer said, "Having some problems with circle flies
there are ya?"
The trooper paused to take another swat and said, "Well,
yes, if that's what they are. I've never heard of circle
flies."
The farmer was pleased to enlighten the cop. "Circle flies
are common on farms. They're called circle flies because
you almost always find them circling the back end of a
horse."
The trooper continues writting for a moment, then says,
"Hey, are you trying to call me a horse's behind?"
"Oh no, officer," the farmer replies. "I have too much
respect for law enforcement and police officers for that."
"That's a good thing," the officer says rudely, then goes
back to writing the ticket.
After a long pause, the farmer added, "Hard to fool
them flies though."
