Farmers, Flies, and Speed Traps

An old farmer was hauling a load of manure when he was stopped in a speed trap.

"You were speeding, " the cop said. "I'm going to have to give you a ticket."

"Yep." the farmer said as he watched the trooper shoo away several flies.

"These flies sure are terrible, " the trooper complained.

"Yep, " the farmer said. "Them are circle flies."

"What's a circle fly?"

"Them flies that circle a horse's ass." answered the farmer. "Them are circle flies."

"You wouldn't be calling me a horse's ass, would you?" the trooper angrily asked.

"Nope, I didn't, " the farmer replied. "But you just can't fool them flies."
