DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania (Reuters) - A Tanzanian man killed himself by drinking a chemical used in cattle dips, leaving a suicide note saying it was to escape a nagging wife, police said on Wednesday.

The body of the 32-year-old was found in the commercial capital Dar es Salaam on Sunday with the suicide note and a glass containing traces of the chemical, used for killing insects on livestock, regional police commissioner Alfred Tibaigana told Reuters.

"I've decided to end my life," Tibaigana quoted the suicide note as saying.

"I am fed up with the constant nagging of my first wife."

1. Reminds me of the joke

Why do husbands normally die before their wives? Because they want to.

2. At least he didn't cut off his own balls.

3. do these guys need "safe houses"?

Please. I bet he whined like the dickens when he had a cold, too. Stories like this trivialize suicide. He killed himself because he couldn't handle the world, not just his wife.
