A kleptomaniac woman had been caught shoplifting in a supermarket and had to
appear in court, taking along her long-suffering husband for moral support.
The prosecution proved that she was guilty so the judge told her that he was
forced to impose a jail term.
“You stole a can of tomatoes. There were six tomatoes in the can. Do you
agree?”
The woman agreed.
“Then I sentence you to six nights in jail.”
The husband jumped to his feet, “Your honor, may I approach the bench?”
“Well,” said his honor, “You may approach the bench.”
The husband wasted no time getting there and, leaning forward, he said in a
low voice, “She also stole a can of peas.”
