"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."
