A farmer was pulled over by a state trooper for speeding. The trooper began lecturing him about his speed and generally throwing his weight around, trying to make the farmer uncomfortable.
Finally, the trooper got around to writing the ticket. As he did, he kept swatting at some flies buzzing around his head.
The farmer said, “Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?”
The trooper stopped writing and said, “Well, yeah. If that’s what they are, I’ve never heard of circle flies.”
The farmer said, “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 said, “Oh,” and went back to writing the ticket.
After a minute, he stopped and said, “Hey… wait a minute. Are you trying to call me a horse’s ass?”
The farmer replied, “Oh no, officer. I have too much respect for law enforcement and police officers to even think about calling you a horse’s ass.”
“Well, that’s a good thing,” said the trooper, and went back to writing the ticket.
After a long pause, the farmer said, “Hard to fool them flies, though.”
