A woman went before a judge accused of theft, and he asked her, "What did you steal?"
"A small tin of peaches," she replied sobbingly.
The judge then asked her why she had stolen the peaches, and she replied that she was hungry.
The judge then inquired, "And how many peaches were in the tin."
She replied, "Only 6 small pieces."
The judge harshly announced, "Then I will give you 6 days in jail....."
But, before the judge could finish pronouncing the punishment, the woman's husband interrupted and asked the judge if he could say something.
The judge annoyingly asked, "What is it, do you have something to say in your wife's defence?"
The husband replied, "Your honour, I cannot tell a lie, she also stole a large tin of peas."
"A small tin of peaches," she replied sobbingly.
The judge then asked her why she had stolen the peaches, and she replied that she was hungry.
The judge then inquired, "And how many peaches were in the tin."
