Circle flies
An old one that passes the Corny-Enough-For-Me test - from Steve R.
A Texas cowboy gets pulled over by an Oklahoma State Trooper for speeding. The trooper starts to lecture the cowboy about his speeding and begins to throw his weight around to make the cowboy feel uncomfortable. Finally, the trooper gets around to writing out the ticket. As he's doing that, he keeps swatting at some flies that are buzzing around his head.
"Y'all havin' some trouble with them circle flies?" asks the cowboy.
The trooper stops writing the ticket and says, "Well, yeah, if that's what they're called... But I 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 'round the back end of a horse."
The trooper says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the ticket. A moment later he stops and asks, "Wait a minute... Are you callin' me a horse's ass?"
"No, sir," the cowboy replies. "I have too much respect for law officers to call y'all a horse's ass."
"That's a good thing," the trooper says and goes back to writing the ticket.
After a long pause the cowboy says, "Hard to fool them flies, though."
