    An old farmer was hauling a load of manure when stopped by a state
trooper.  "You were speeding    and it's my duty to give you a ticket."
    "Yup," said the farmer as he watched the trooper shoo away a pesky fly.
    "These flies are terrible," said the trooper.
    "Yup.  Them are circle flies," said the farmer.
    "What's a circle fly?" asked the trooper.
    "Why, you know them flies that circle a horses tail," answered the
farmer.  "Them are circle flies."
    Angrily, the trooper asked, "You wouldn't be calling me a horse's...?
    "Nope"," said the farmer, "but you just can't fool them circle flies."
