A kleptomaniac woman had been caught shoplifting in a supermarket
and had to appear in court, taking along her long-suffering husband for marital support.
The prosecution proved that the theft had taken place so the judge
told her that, considering her record, he was forced to impose a jail term.
"This time you stole a can of tomatoes. Let us suppose that 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, addressing the judge,
"Your honor, may I approach the bench?"
"Well," said his honor, this is somewhat unusual but
I will make an exception in this case. 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, your honor."
