Wife-Subduing Siren

BERLIN: A 73- year old man, who used an air-raid siren to
stun his wife into submission, has had it confiscated by the
German Police."My wife never lets me get a word in edge-ways"
the man identified as Valdimir R told the Mannheim Police.
" So I cranked up the siren and let it rip for a few minutes.
It works every time. Afterwords, it's real quiet again."

A Police spokesman said that the neighbours had complained about the
220-volt device believed to be an old- fashioned air raid siren.
Rosina, Valdimir's wife for 32 years, said she sometimes had to yell to
get his attention." My husband is a stubborn mule so I have to get loud."
