The judge then asked her how many peaches were in the can. She replied, "Six."

The judge then said, "I will give you six days in jail."

Before the judge could actually pronounce the punishment the woman's husband spoke up and asked the judge if he could say something.

"What is it?" the judge asked.

The husband said, "She also stole a can of peas."
