The New Metro Cop

The new metro cop pulled a speeder who was zipping down Maple Avenue.

- Can I see your license and registration, bub? - the cop inquired.

- But officer, - the fellow started, - I can explain...

- Shut yer trap, bub! - snapped the officer.

- You're going downtown and sit a while till the sarge gets back.

- But, officer, I think you really should know...

- And I said to shut yer trap! You're going to jail!

A few hours later the cop looked in on his prisoner and said:

- Lucky for you that the sarge is at his daughter's wedding. He'll be in a good mood when he gets back.

- Don't count on it, - shot back the sap in the cell.

- I'm the groom.
