Consistent Sentencing
An 80-year-old woman was arrested for shop-lifting.
When she went before the judge he asked her, "What did you steal?"
She replied: "A can of peaches."
The judge asked her why she had stolen them and she replied that she was hungry.
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."

The Patient
A patient, Melba Boudreaux, went to the doctor for abdominal x-rays and was sedated by Dr. Thibodeaux.
To find out if the sedative was working, Dr. Thibodeaux asked her a number of questions, the last one being, "Ma'am, where is your pain right now?"
Through the medicated fog, she answered, "He's at work."
