Naked man arrested for shouting at trees

A German man has been arrested after a marriage guidance counsellor advised him to run around naked shouting at trees.

Dieter Braun, 43, from Recklinghausen said the stress release technique had worked perfectly until he was arrested.

He told police that venting his anger on the trees had stopped him shouting at his wife.

"If I didn't go to the woods and scream at the trees then my marriage would probably be over," he said.

He added taking his clothes off at the same time made him feel more relaxed.

"For me it's a type of relaxation therapy. Feeling the breeze on my naked skin really calms me down."

But local police said other visitors to the forest did not find his behaviour relaxing and have now charged him with causing a public nuisance.

With certain exceptions, I'm opposed to naked Germans. I'm particularly opposed to them shouting at trees.

Regards, Ivan

I think it's interesting that the tree shouting at was what he was arrested for.

I agree. For me, Heidi Klum would be an exception...

I have no problem with the shouting, but the nudity is just wrong. If only because of all the wood jokes it could inspire.

Just looking at the headline, my first thought was, Dear God, how fast and how low can Al Gore sink?

"...after a marriage guidance counsellor advised him to run around naked shouting at trees."


See this is the type of advice I'd give if i were a guidance counselor / therapist. I'd just make up wacky zany stuff and see who did it.

Of course the difference between me and this counselor is he's serious, I'm not.

He'd have been alright if he hadn't shouted, I guess.

***************

I'll bet his stress level went way up after that. On balance, not such a good technique, I think.
