Circle flies

[conmanpopa]

A farmer from Sask. attends a
meeting where Oberg is trying to
gather support for his CWB. Once he
discovers the farmer is an avid open
market supporter, he starts to belittle
him by talking in a demeaning voice and
single syllable words.

As he was doing that, he kept swatting
at some flies that were buzzing around
his head. The farmer says, "Y'all havin'
some problem with them circle flies?"

Oberg stopped talking and said, "Well,
yes, if that's what they're called, but
I've never heard of circle flies."

"Well, sir," the farmer 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."

"Oh," Oberg replies as he goes back to
rambling.
But, a moment later he stops and bluntly
asks, "Are you calling me a horse's
ass?"
"No, sir," the farmer replies, "I have
too much respect for the farmers of this
country to call their CWB boss a horse's
ass."

"That's a good thing," Oberg
responds and begins rambling on once
more.

After a long pause, the farmer gets up
to the mike and says
"Hard to fool them flies, though."
