Texas cowboy Joke....?

Got this from an American friend.....

A cowboy from Texas gets pulled over by an Arizona DPS 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 buzzing around his head.

The cowboy says, "Y'all havin' some problem with them circle flies?" The

trooper stopped writing 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 ***?" "No, sir,"the cowboy replies, "I have too much respect for law enforcement to call

y'all a horse's ***."

"That's a good thing," the trooper says and goes back to writing the

ticket.

After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl says, "Hard to

fool them flies though"
