If you ever get an application from one Santo Gambino, you can be fairly certain he won’t make a request to telecommute — at least not as long as he’s married.
The story began when Gambino got arrested in his native Sicily for dumping hazardous wastes. Found guilty, the man served part of his sentence in a Sicilian prison and then was released to serve the rest of his term under home confinement. Here’s where the story gets really interesting.
According to Italian media reports, after a few days at home, Gambino showed up at a local police station and asked to be returned to prison. The criminal explained to the cops that he’d rather be in jail than be stuck at home 24/7 with his wife — who, according to her hubby, continually nagged him about household finances.
Well, we can assume that the authorities in Sicily really know their stuff when it comes to punishment: They ordered Gambino to serve out the rest of his time at home.
