Husband jumps in river to escape nagging

A Chinese lorry driver jumped into a fast-flowing river because he couldn't take his wife's nagging anymore.

Zhou and his wife were on a ferry on the Yangtze River when it all became too much for him, reports the Chongqing Evening Post.

Members of the ship's crew saw the man suddenly run out of his cabin with his hands covering his ears, and shouting: "I can't stand it any longer."

They initially thought he was suffering from an ear injury and went to help him but found he was unhurt.

"While we were still puzzling over the this, his wife ran up and continued nagging him," said one crewmate.

"The husband covered his ears again and said: 'I need a break' before jumping over the side into the rushing river.

"We immediately found lamps to light up the water but found nobody. The possibility of survival can be zero."

However, later that night, police found the man who had managed to swim more than a mile across across the broad river.

"I felt I was dying, but even that's better than my wife's nagging," he reportedly told the police.

The couple were reunited the following morning at the local police station where Zhou's wife promised to give up her habit of nagging him.

once a nagger, always a nagger!!!

I used to don scuba gear and 'clean' the bottom of the pool for hours to avoid nagging, much like "Benjamin Braddock"!

Personally - I think the wrong mate wound up in the river. :p

Even King Solomon, the wisest man in the world, said the same thing - and with several hundred wives, he should know!:

Proverbs 21:9 - It is better to live in the corner of an attic than with a crabby woman in a lovely home.

Proverbs 21:19 - Better to live in the desert than with a quarrelsome, complaining woman.

Proverbs 25:24 - It is better to live in a corner of the roof Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

Proverbs 27:15+16 - A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day; You can no more stop her complaints than you can stop the wind or hold onto anything with oil-slick hands.
