A cowboy hauling his horse in a trailer to a rodeo gets pulled over by a Texas Highway Patrol 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 persistently
buzzing around his head. The cowboy says, "Y'all havin' a problem with them circle flies?" The trooper stopped writin the ticket and said, "Well yeah, if that's what they're called. But I've never heard of circle flies." "Well, sir," the cowboy replies, "circle flies hang around ranches. 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. But, a moment later he stops and asks, "Are you callin' me a horse's a$$?" "No, sir," the cowboy replies, "I have too much respect for law enforcement to call y'all a horse's a$$." "That's a good thing," the trooper says and goes back to writing the ticket. After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best drawl says,"Hard to fool them flies though".
