October 8, 200322 yr BERLIN - German women tired of taking their husbands on weekend shopping trips can now drop them off at a special kindergarten for men offering beer and entertainment. "The women are issued a receipt for their partners when they hand them in and can pick up again when they return it to us later," Alexander Stein, manager of the 'Nox Bar' said. Each man receives a name badge upon arrival and for 10 euros ($11.80) they get two beers, a hot meal, televised football and games. Stein said the idea for the men's creche, or "Maennergarten," came from a female customer who felt it would be a good way to get rid of her husband while she shopped. "It beats sitting around in shoe shops, that's for sure," remarked one man.
