A traffic cop in a small town pulls over an out of town motorist who was going 5 over the limit on Main Street.

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

"Just be quiet, city slicker," snaps the policeman. "You're going to cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back."

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

"I said keep quiet! You're going to jail!"

A few hours later the officer looks in on his prisoner and says, "Lucky for you, the chief is at his daughter's wedding. He'll be in a good mood when he gets back."

"Don't bet on it," answers the man in the cell. "I'm the groom."
