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."

Also, don't mistake 'trash' for rednecks.
And I know what I am talking about because I am from the south (Georgia) and I am a redneck.

My husband showed me this news item a few days ago. He hasn't stopped giggling since. Occasionally he will come up behind me and make air raid siren noises just to watch me jump.

In Ireland, on Sunday morning the streets are deserted because everyone's at church. At noon, the doors open and the people stream from the churches directly to the pubs. They don't even go home and change their clothes first! I was floored, having been raised Baptist. But I adapted right quick, I must say! ;^)

Just goes to show you...like Jeff Foxworthy says, there are Rednecks every-where, not just the South!
