MAN PREFERS JAIL TO BEING HOME WITH HIS WIFE

Itzehoe, Germany (dpa) - A man in Germany surrendered to authorities saying he preferred spending time in jail rather than being free at home with his wife, police said Tuesday.
The 47-year-old man in the North Sea coastal town of Itzehoe had been slapped with a fine of 100 dollars for an offence.
Faced with a choice of paying the fine or spending 10 days in jail, he asked officers to lock him away.
``He said he couldn't stand the constant bickering at home with his wife and was looking forward to a bit of peace and quiet,'' a police spokesman said.
