An old Maine farmer got pulled over by a Maine 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 Maine 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.
