Topless wife photo ends man's pole protest

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German man who spent 10 days in a
self-made box atop a 72-foot-tall pole to protest a
looming jail term was lured off his perch by his wife
-- who sent up a topless picture of herself in his
lunch box.

Fred Gregor, 45, was bidding to have his 15-month
conviction for fraud overturned by squatting in his
tiny cubicle atop a converted television mast. He told
Reuters in a telephone interview last week that he
wanted a new trial.

His wife Susanne, 25, backed his protest until the
former stripper and mother of their five children
decided she had had enough.

Well...the courts will take him seriously now, huh?

No, but now they'll take his wife seriously.
