The farmer said, "Having some problems with circle fliesthere, are ya?"The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said-"Well yeah, if that'swhat they are-I never heard of circle flies." So the farmersays-"Well, circle flies are common on farms. See, they're calledcircle flies because they're almost always found circling around theback end of a horse." The trooper says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the ticket. Thenafter a minute he stops and says, "Hey...wait a minute, are you tryingto call me a horses ass?"The farmer says, "Oh no, officer. I have too much respect for lawenforcement and police officers to even think about calling you ahorses ass."The trooper says, "Well, that's a good thing," and goes back towriting the ticket.After a long pause, the farmer says, "Hard to fool them flies though."
