Modern-Day Stylites?

via Reuters

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.

The pole dancer and the pole sitter.

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.

Fred Gregor. Good German name, that.

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

Or hadn't had enough, depending on how you view it.
