Bob: In defence of your wife, "Can" is often used as a slang word or a
colequalism (hope I spelled that correctly) for a bathroom or toilet; ie:
the bog, the john, the boy's room, little girl's room, dickey's hang out,
the piss*r, the loo, crapper, WC.
It is possible that she just might have been in a "can" where there were
crickets. I live on the prairies where there are plenty of crickets and I
know I have been in a "can" where there were crickets.
Either that or she (God forbid the good woman could) be imagining things
like bugs in a tin.
