Horse�s ass

As Governor, Bush got to ceremonially act as a state trooper for a day. While
operating a speed trap Bush pulled over a Texas farmer. He lectured the farmer
about his speed and the necessity of obeying laws made by his superiors, and in
general threw his weight around. Finally, he got around to writing the ticket,
and as he was doing so he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around
his head. The farmer said, “Having some problems with circle flies there, are
ya, Sir?” Bush stopped writing the ticket and said, “Well yeah, if that’s what
they are — I never heard of circle flies.” So the farmer says, “Well, circle
flies are common on farms. See, they’re called circle flies because they’re
almost always found circling around the back end of horses.” Bush says, “Oh,”
and goes back to writing the ticket. After a minute he stops and slowly says,
“Hey… wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horse’s ass?” The farmer
says, “Oh no, Governor, I have too much respect for you to even think about
calling you a horse’s ass.” Grinning broadly, Bush says, “Well, that’s a good
thing,” and goes back to writing the ticket. After a long pause, the farmer
says, “Hard to fool them flies though.”
