A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street.
"But officer," the man began, "I can explain."
Already experiencing a very long and grueling day, the officer snapped back in response, "Just be quiet, I'm going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back..."
"But officer, I just wanted to say..." the man said.
"And I said to keep quiet! You are going to jail." the officer said sternly.
A few hours had pasted while back at the jailhouse. 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 that..." answered the man in the cell. "I'm the groom..."
