It\u2019s the height of summer when a Highway Patrolman pulls over a driver for speeding. As he writes the ticket, flies keep buzzing around his head, driving him crazy.<\/p>\n
\u201cFlies sure are bad this year, huh?\u201d the driver comments.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah,\u201d the officer replies, \u201cif these are circle flies, you\u2019re right. But I\u2019ve never heard of a circle fly before. What\u2019s that?\u201d<\/p>\n
The driver explains, \u201cCircle flies are a type that loves horses\u2014they tend to circle a horse\u2019s rear end. That\u2019s why they\u2019re called circle flies.\u201d<\/p>\n
The patrolman smirks, catching the hint. \u201cReally? Interesting\u2026 but I hope you\u2019re not suggesting I\u2019m a horse\u2019s rear end. You wouldn\u2019t say that about a law officer, would you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, no sir!\u201d the driver protests. \u201cI have the utmost respect for police and would never imply such a thing. I\u2019m sorry if it came across that way.\u201d<\/p>\n
The officer nods. \u201cYeah, didn\u2019t think so.\u201d<\/p>\n
The driver adds with a grin, \u201cBut there\u2019s no fooling those circle flies, is there?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
