BERLIN (Reuters) - A 73-year-old man who used an air raid siren to stun his wife into submission has had it confiscated by German police.
"My wife never lets me get a word in edgeways," the man identified as Vladimir R. told Mannheim police. "So I crank up the siren and let it rip for a few minutes. It works every time. Afterwards, it's real quiet again."
A police spokesman said neighbors had complained at the noise from the 220-volt rooftop device, believed to be an old-fashioned air raid siren.
Rosina, Vladimir's wife of 32 years, said she sometimes had to yell to get his attention. "My husband is a stubborn mule so I have to get loud."

You know, I was seriously just thinking about how cool it would be to have an old WWII hand crank siren. You can find them on eBay or you can still find new ones at web sites like this -

I suppose the term rednecks for siren blowin fightin world wide. Accept where in the world but the U.S. do folks live in trailors?
To: TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!
And you can think shacks are better. :P
By the way, most Rednecks live in houses not trailers.

ROTFL!! I want one. I wonder if someone could invent the "Pocket Air Raid Siren"
Think of the possibilities:
Annoying liberal relatives on a rant? Pocket Air Raid Siren to the rescue.
Tim Robbins Spewing anti-American propaganda? Give him a 3 minute blast.
Michael Moore grunting at the Academy awards? Pocket Air Raid Siren in conjunction with loud booing will fix the problem. (either that or toss a cheeseburger on the stage)
That's right folks get your Pocket Air Raid Siren -100% guarenteed liberal repellant- only $19.95 operators are standing by....

"Hold mein ears"
I thought there was a catagory for these kind a stories. But isn't it "Hold mein beer" alert? Or is it "Hold muh beer" alert.

Not to be argumentive, Paul, but I've spent considerable time in several countries and, in every instance, I've found people who would qualify as rednecks. "Redneck" is not necessarily an American convention.
