A young RCMP officer eager to make points with his boss sees a farmer crossing the road ahead of him with a large tractor and a piece of field equipment. He thinks to himself this farmer should be good for a bunch of tickets so after the farmer reaches the field the officer stops him.
The young officer proceeds to write out numerous tickets such as no licence plate, no insurance for road travel and any others he can think up.
The farmer tries to explain to the officer that this is the most efficient way to get his equipment from one field to the other and he has been doing it for years with no problems. The officer continues to write out his tickets.
Glancing up the officer notices the farmer looking just over his head in a quizzical way.
"What are you looking at may I ask?"
"Just looking at the circle flies" replies the farmer
"And just what are circle flies ?" asks the officer
"Well circle flies are flies that seem to like flying around a horses ass" says the farmer
"Are you calling me a horses ass? cuz if you are, you will really be in trouble" comes back the cop
"No SIR, I would never call you a horses ass, but you sure can't fool them circle flies"
