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."

"My husband is a stubborn mule so I have to get loud." Stubbornness is not the mule's only physical trait ... no wonder she's stuck with him for so long.

Since no one has yet, I would like to point out that Wife-Subduing Air-Raid Siren would be a KICKASS name for a band.
