One Sentence Changed the Whole Story
A police officer in a small town pulled over a man who was speeding down Main Street.
As soon as the car stopped, the driver rolled down his window and said anxiously,
**”But, Officer, I can explain…”**
The officer cut him off immediately.
**”Save it. You’re coming with me.”**
“But if you’ll just let me—”
**”I said be quiet!”** the officer snapped. **”You can explain later. Right now, you’re going to cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back.”**
The man sighed, realizing there was no point arguing. He was taken to the local jail without another word.
A few hours later, the officer stopped by the cell to check on him.
Trying to sound reassuring, he said,
**”You’re actually pretty lucky. The chief is at his daughter’s wedding today. He’ll probably be in a great mood when he gets back, so things should go easier for you.”**
The prisoner looked up calmly, gave a small smile, and replied,
**”I wouldn’t count on that…”**
The officer frowned.
**”Why not?”**
The man answered,
**”Because I’m the groom.”**
