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

"But officer," the man said, "I can  explain."

"Just be quiet!!!" snapped the officer.
"Or I'm going to let  you cool off in jail
until the chief gets back."

"But officer , I just wanted to say..."

"And I said KEEP QUIET! Now you're going to  jail!"

A few hours later, the officer checked up on his prisoner
and  said,

"Lucky for you the chief is at his daughter's wedding.
He'll be in a great  mood when he gets here ."

"Don't count on it," said the prisoner. "I'm the  groom!!"
