The Honest Husband & The Deaf Wife

** The Law-Upholding Husband ~

An 80 year old woman was arrested for shop lifting. When she went before the judge in Cincinnati he asked her, "What did you steal?"

She replied, "A can of peaches."

The judge then asked her why she had stolen the can of peaches and she replied that she was hungry.

The judge asked her how many peaches were in the can. She replied 6.

The judge said, "I will then give you 6 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.

The judge said, "What is it?"

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

** The Deaf Wife ~

Man told the doctor he suspected that his wife was going deaf. The doctor said:

"Let's try to find out for sure. You ask her a question at a certain distance and see from how far or near she could hear you. So that we know how serious the matter is."

That night the man was standing outside the kitchen and asked his wife behind her back, where she was working at the sink: "What's for dinner Love?" No answer. He stepped in a couple of paces and asked again: "What's for dinner Darling?" Still no answer. He got a bit nearer each time and asked the same question 4 times.

She turned abruptly and said: "What's the matter with you? I told you 4 times already that we are having chicken!'
