The Complainer

An elderly couple are shopping in the grocery store and his wife is continuously nagging at him about the cost of everything he puts in the cart. She picks up a can of peaches and exclaims “that’s ridiculous!” when she looks at the price. Looking both ways, she slips it into her purse. The security sees her on video, and she is arrested. At court the judge says, “this kind of petty theft is unacceptable, I need to make a lesson of you.” He looks at her carefully. “How many peaches are in the can you stole?’ “Seven” she replies. “Very well, I am sentencing you to seven days in jail.” Right then the husband pipes up “Your Honour, I should probably tell you she also stole a can of peas.”
