A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street.

But officer, the man began, I can explain.



Just be quiet, snapped the officer. Im 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! Youre going to jail!



A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, Lucky for you that the chiefs at his daughters wedding. Hell be in a good mood when he gets back.



Dont count on it, answered the fellow in the cell. Im the groom.
