circle flies

[MootPoint]

An old North Carolina farmer got pulled over by an Arizona
State trooper for speeding. The trooper started to
lecture the farmer about his speed and in general,
began to throw his weight around to try to make the
farmer uncomfortable.

Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the
ticket. As he was doing it, he kept swatting at some
flies that were buzzing around his head.

The farmer said, "Havin' some problems with circle
flies there, are Ya?"

The trooper stopped writing the ticket and
said--"Well, yeah, if that's what they are--I never
heard of circle flies."

So the old North Carolina farmer says, "Well, circle
flies are common on farms. See, they're called
circle flies 'cause they're almost always found
circlin' around the back end of a horse. The trooper
says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the ticket.
Then after a minute he stops and says, "Hey...wait
a minute, are you trying to call me a horse's ass?"

The farmer says, "Oh no, officer. I have too much
respect for law enforcement and police officers to
even think about calling you a horse's ass."

The trooper says, "Well, that's a good thing," and
goes back to writing the ticket.

After a long pause, the farmer says, "Hard to fool
them flies, though".
