Circle Flies.....

>
> A cowboy in Montana got pulled over by a State Trooper
> for speeding. The trooper started to lecture the
> cowboy about his speeding, and in general began to
> throw his weight around to try to make the cowboy 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 cowboy said, "Having some problem 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 cowboy says, "Well, circle flies are common on
> ranches. 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 a--?"
>
> The cowboy says, "No, Sir. I have too much respect for
> law enforcement and police officers to even think
> about calling you a horse's a--."
>
> The trooper says, "Well that's a good thing," and goes
> back to writing the ticket.
>
> After a long pause, the cowboy says, "Hard to fool
> them flies though."
