A woman goes to prison to visit her husband who has just been sentenced yo forty (40) years in jail, as soon as she enters the visiting room, she hugs him and exclaims with tears in her eyes:

Wife -"Oh! Roger, 40 years, Roger ?"

Husband -"Well, my love, what are you going to do?"

Wife - "Oh, Roger...! I spoke to the judge handling your case,"

Husband - "And what did he say, my love?"

Wife - "He told me that for every time I make love with him, he will reduce your prison sentence by one year..."

Husband - "What !!! What a miserable bastard and what did you say to that son of a bitch?"

Wife - "Oh, Roger! We'll talk about it at home, pick up your stuff, let's go… !!!(40years covered already, I have slept with him already)!!!

Is this woman to be congratulated or not?

she must be congratulated. 40 years behind bars is not 4 years

The woman was right just that she shouldn't have told her husband how his salvation came.
