Police officer in a small town stopped a motorist
who was speeding down Main Street. The
man began, "Officer, I can explain."
"No explanation needed!" snapped the Officer.
"I'm going to let you cool your heels in
the jail until the chief gets back."
The man tried again. "But Officer, please
wait, I have to tell you something.
Please listen to me."
"Just keep quiet! You broke the law, it’s an offense.
Why only tell how? I cannot let you go. You're
going to jail and I'm not interested in what
you have to say!" the Officer barked.
A few hours later in the jail, the Officer looked in
on his prisoner and said, "Lucky for you the
chief is 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."
