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'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."

警察在小镇上拦下了一个在主街上减速驾驶的人，“但是，警官，”那个男子说道：“我能解释原因。”“闭嘴”，警察不耐烦地说道“我得把你关进牢房让你坐冷板凳，直到警长回来。”但是，警官，我想说的是……”“我告诉过你让你闭嘴。你得进监狱。”几个小时后，警察来看那个被关押的男子，“你很幸运，警长去参加他女儿的婚礼了，他回来时心情会很好。”“不要提那件事了”被关押的男子说道：“我正是新郎”。
