A policeman stops Alan the farmer for speeding and starts to lecture him about his speed, pompously implying that the Alan 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.
Alan said, "Having some problems with circle flies there are ya?"
The cop paused to take another swat and said, "Well, yes, if that's what they are. I've never heard of circle flies."
Alan 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 cop continues writing for a moment, then says," Hey, are you trying to call me a horse's behind?"
"Oh no, officer." Alan 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, Alan added,
"Hard to fool them flies, though."
