A farmer got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding. The trooper started writing out the ticket, and as he was doing so he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head.

The farmer asks, "Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?

The trooper stops writing the ticket and says, "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, "Hey...wait a minute, are you trying to associate me with the back end of a horse?"

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 rear."

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

se, the farmer says, "Hard to fool them flies though."
