The Farmer and Trooper
A farmer in Georgia got pulled over by a State Trooper
for speeding. The trooper started to lecture the farmer
about his speeding, and in general began to throw his
weight around to try to make the farmer feel uncomfortable.
Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the ticket.
As he was doing that, he kept swatting at some flies
that were buzzing around his head. The farmer said,
"Having some problem with circle flies there, are ye?
The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said,
"Well yeah, if that's what they are. I never heard of
circle flies." So the farmer says, "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 says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the
ticket. Then after a minute, he stops and says, "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."
