Not So Fast, Buddy

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. "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 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."
