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."

笑話文化解讀

美國(guó)是世界上擁有汽車(chē)最多的國(guó)家，也是汽車(chē)法規(guī)最嚴(yán)苛的國(guó)家之一。在美國(guó)，高速公路的限速一般在60英里至75英里之間，多數(shù)州規(guī)定不能超過(guò)100英里。大多數(shù)州對(duì)第一次超速違章的司機(jī)會(huì)采取教育為主的方法。但如果再次違反交通規(guī)則，就逃不過(guò)懲罰。據(jù)美國(guó)國(guó)家公路交通安全管理局的統(tǒng)計(jì)，全美國(guó)對(duì)超速的平均罰金是200美元。在開(kāi)車(chē)超速罰單最貴的10個(gè)州中，最高額的罰單可超過(guò)500美元，北卡羅來(lái)納州和喬治亞州的法官還有權(quán)增加入獄處罰。
