Circle Flies

"Speeding Ticket"

A lady who was speeding had an officer pulled her
to the side of the road. She didn't have her seat belt
on so as soon as she stopped, she quickly slipped
it on before the officer got to her window.

After talking to her about speeding, the officer said,
"I see you are wearing your seat belt. Do you believe
in wearing it at all times?"

"Yes, I do, officer," she replied.

"Well," asked the officer, "do you always do it up with
it looped through your steering wheel?"

"Circle Flies"

After pulling a farmer over for speeding, a state trooper
started to lecture him about his speed, pompously
implying that the farmer didn't know any better and
trying to make him feel as uncomfortable as possible.

He finally started writing out the ticket, but had to keep
swatting at some flies buzzing around his head.

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

The trooper paused to take another swat and said,
"Well, yes, if that's what they are. I've never heard of
circle flies."

The farmer was pleased to enlighten the cop. "Circle
flies are common on farms. They're called circle flies
because you almost always find them circling the back
end of a horse."

The trooper continues writing for a moment, then says,
"Hey, are you trying to call me a horse's behind?"

"Oh no, officer." The farmer replies. "I have too much
respect for law enforcement and police officers for that."

"That's a good thing," the officer says rudely, then goes
back to writing the ticket.

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