It's the middle of summer and a Highway Patrolman pulls over a motoristfor speeding. While he's writing the ticket, flies keep buzzing aroundhis head, annoying him considerably. "Circle flies sure are bad this year, aren't they?" says the motorist. "Yeah," says the patrolman, "if that's what these are, you're sureright. But I've never heard of a circle fly before. What's that?" "Well," the motorist responds, "circle flies are a species of fly thatare particularly partial to horses. Specifically, they tend to circlearound a horse's rear end. That's why they call 'em circle flies." The patrolman, catching the implication, replies, "You don't say. Well,that's very interesting. But it strikes me that you might be trying tocall me a horse's ass. You wouldn't be making that kind of implicationabout an officer of the law, would you?" "Oh, no sir!" responds the motorist. "No, sir, not at all. I have theutmost respect for law enforcement officers, and would never dream ofimplying that one of them was a horse's ass. No, sir, I'm terribly sorry if that's how it sounded." "Yeah, I didn't think so," replied the patrolman. "Yeah," the motorist continued, "but there's just no fooling those circle flies, is there?"
