An old farmer and the flies circling him.
For more sotries
An elderly farmer was driving his tractor down the highway, pulling a wagon piled high with fertilizer, when flashing lights appeared behind him. He slowed to a stop as a state trooper stepped out of the patrol car.
“Sir,” the officer said, “you were going over the speed limit. I’ll need to write you a citation.”
“Alright,” the farmer replied calmly, leaning back against his tractor.
As the trooper filled out the paperwork, he kept swatting at a swarm of flies hovering around the wagon. “These bugs are awful,” he muttered.
“Sure are,” the farmer agreed. “Those are circle flies.”
The trooper paused. “Circle flies? What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Well,” the farmer said, “they’re the kind that like to circle around a horse’s backside.”
The trooper straightened up, clearly annoyed. “Are you saying I look like a horse’s rear end?”
The farmer shook his head slowly. “Nope. But flies have a funny way of knowing what they’re attracted to.”
The trooper stared at him for a second, then snapped his ticket book shut and walked back to his car, while the farmer chuckled and drove off, amused by how honesty doesn’t always need to be spoken out loud.
Across town, a boy named Jacob sat at his desk, barely able to contain his grin. He was famous in his class for asking questions that twisted logic into knots. When his teacher walked by, Jacob raised his hand eagerly.
“Can I ask you something?” he said.
She smiled cautiously. “Alright, go ahead.”
“How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?”
She blinked. “I… have no idea.”
Jacob beamed. “Easy! You open the door, put the elephant in, and close it.”
Not missing a beat, he followed up. “Okay, then how do you put a giraffe in the refrigerator?”
The teacher nodded confidently. “Same way—you open the door and put it in.”
Jacob shook his head dramatically. “Wrong! First you take the elephant out, then you put the giraffe in.”
The class was already laughing when Jacob added another one. “All the animals were invited to the lion’s birthday party, but one didn’t show up. Who was it?”
The teacher guessed, “The lion?”
“Nope,” Jacob said. “The giraffe—because it’s still stuck in the fridge!”
Now fully invested, the teacher asked, “Alright, last one.”
Jacob grinned. “You need to cross a river filled with hungry alligators. What do you do?”
She thought hard. “Find a bridge?”
“Nope,” Jacob said proudly. “You swim across. All the alligators are busy at the lion’s birthday party!”
The room exploded with laughter, and even the teacher had to admit—sometimes the smartest answers are the ones that don’t follow the rules.
