An old farmer was hauling a load of manure when he was stopped by a state trooper. \u201cYou were speeding,\u201d the officer said. \u201cI\u2019m going to have to give you a ticket.\u201d \u201cYep,\u201d the farmer replied calmly, watching as the trooper repeatedly waved his hands, trying to shoo away several flies that seemed determined to stay nearby. \u201cThese flies are terrible,\u201d the trooper complained.<\/p>\n
\u201cYep,\u201d the farmer said. \u201cThose are circle flies.\u201d \u201cWhat\u2019s a circle fly?\u201d the trooper asked. \u201cThem flies that circle a horse\u2019s backside,\u201d the farmer explained. \u201cThose are circle flies.\u201d The trooper frowned. \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t be calling me a horse\u2019s backside, would you?\u201d \u201cNope, I didn\u2019t,\u201d the farmer answered. \u201cBut you just can\u2019t fool them flies.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jacob asked his teacher some tricky questions one day in class. As she walked by his desk, Jacob raised his hand and asked, \u201cHow do you put an elephant in the fridge?\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d the teacher replied. \u201cHow?\u201d \u201cYou open the door and put it in,\u201d Jacob said confidently. Jacob followed up with another question. \u201cHow do you put a giraffe in the fridge?\u201d \u201cOh, I know this one,\u201d the teacher said. \u201cYou open the door and put it in.\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d Jacob replied. \u201cYou open the door, take the elephant out, and then put the giraffe in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then Jacob asked, \u201cAll the animals went to the lion\u2019s birthday party, except one. Which one?\u201d \u201cThe lion?\u201d the teacher guessed. \u201cNo,\u201d Jacob said. \u201cThe giraffe\u2014he\u2019s still in the fridge.\u201d Finally, Jacob asked, \u201cIf there\u2019s a river full of alligators and you want to cross it, how do you do it?\u201d \u201cYou walk over the bridge,\u201d the teacher answered. \u201cNo,\u201d Jacob said. \u201cYou swim across. All the alligators are at the party.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
