Cooling His Heels
A police officer 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.
