A Bad Day
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’s at his daughter’s wedding. He will be in good mood when he gets back.”
