Bad Luck
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."
