A police officer stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street.
“But officer, “the man began, “I can explain. “
“Just be quiet, “snapped the officer. I’m going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back. “
“But, officer, I just wanted to say…”
“And I said to keep quiet! You’re going to jail!”
A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, “Lucky for you that the chief’s at his daughter’s wedding… He’ll be in a good mood when he gets back. “
“Don’t count on it, “answered the fellow in the cell. “I’m the groom. “
