Man Learns Penalty for Wanting to Stay In for the Evening

SLOPDOG writes "Anti-Social Man Almost Loses Nose

A Texas man nearly lost his snout after telling his wife he didn't want to go out.

Police said Maria Serrano, of San Antonio, got in a fight with her husband, Zeferino Barrera, after he told her he'd rather not hit the town last weekend.

"The woman in this situation assaulted the man, nearly cutting off his nose and sending him to the hospital," police spokeswoman Sandy Gutierrez told WOAI-TV.

Barrera said Serrano hit him in the head with a frying pan, but police couldn't find any kind of cutting weapon.

"She claims she never had anything in her hands, that it was simply her fist she used to hit him on the nose," Gutierrez said.

A plastic surgeon doubted that story.

"That would be a huge force to knock it off like that," said plastic surgeon Dr. Thomas Jeneby, who said Barrera's nose could be saved with multiple operations.

Serrano was charged with aggravated assault.
