Revenge
An 80-year-old woman was arrested for shop lifting. When she went before the judge he asked her, "What did you steal?"
"A can of peaches."
The judge asked her why she had stolen them.
"I was hungry."
The judge then asked her how many peaches were in the can.
"Six."
Thinking for a little while, the judge 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."

I guess the old fellow had some issues and also forgot this:
1 Peter 3:9 — Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
I understand.
