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 feel as uncomfortable as possible. He
finally started writing out the ticket, but had to keep
swatting at some flies 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 writing for a moment,
then says," Hey, are you trying to call me a horse's
behind?"
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."
