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."

They need one of these air raid sirens in the senate for everytime senator Byrd or Kennedy gets on one of their rants!

I'll just say "uncle" here and admit that I have no personal qualifications for identifying rednecks. I just intuitively know when I'm in the presence of one, and I suppose that intuition is not a qualification.
Thanks for your interest.

If you're a Georgia redneck, then you're a Cracker.
But why be so sensitive? Rednecks tell the best redneck jokes. Nobody can make fun of rednecks better than a redneck. Rednecks who can't take the joke are insecure rednecks.
This German couple qualifies as redneck, with their air-raid siren and all. ROFL!

Never call a redneck, a cracker. Most rednecks find that to be an insult.

I've listen to Jeff Foxworthy, some of it is very funny, but to quote him.. "I meet of people from around the world who come up to me and call themselves redneck, when they really aren't."
To: Paul C. Jesup
I can't dream of why that would be.

He also has stated that "you find rednecks every-where you go"...then he goes into his "famous tests" as to how to know you are "a redneck"!.

There's something very endearing about this couple. They're still together.

I think it is called an compressed air horn. Easily bought at any sporting goods store. Of course using it in a crowd (other than at a sporting event, and maybe even there) will likely get you pounded and the air horn stuffed in any exposed orifice. :)
