A old farmer from Iowa got pulled over by a New York state trooper for speeding, and the trooper started to lecture the old backcountry farmer about his speed, and in general began to throw his weight around to try to make the quiet old man uncomfortable. Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the ticket, and as he was doing so he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head.
The farmer said, "Having 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 farmer said, "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 said, "Oh," and went back to writing the ticket. Then, after a minute he stopped and said, "Hey... wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horse's a$$?"
The farmer said, "Oh no, officer. I got too much respect for the law and police officers to even think about calling you a horse's a$$."
The trooper said, "Well, that's a good thing," and went back to writing the ticket.
After a long pause, the farmer said, "Hard to fool them flies though."
