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?"
"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."
