The Governor made room on his busy calendar to hear the plea of one Mrs. Jones that her husband be released from the state penitentiary. "What was he sentenced for?" asked the
Governor gently.
"For stealing a bread truck," replied the offender's wife.
"Is he a good husband?"
"No," she replied frankly, blushing a bit. "He beats me when he gets drunk, he bullies our children, he's unfaithful, and really not much good at all."
"It sounds to me as though you're better off without him," said the Governor. "Why on earth do you want him out of jail?"
"Well," she explained, "we're out of bread again."
