Caught with a Joint

A comedian's fan offered him a joint. Not wanting to disappoint his fans, he accepted it.
He almost finished the drive to his lodging when a police officer stopped his car.

The officer asked him, "Have you been drinking?"
The comedian denied doing so.

The officer then asked, "Is that marijuana I smell?"

The comedian replied, "No, I ran over a skunk a few miles back."

The officer gave him a good look over and asked, "Why are your eyes red?"

The comedian sniffled and said, "It was a baby skunk."
