We had a wooden spoon we used. "The Spanking Spoon".

Okay penni. I spent more than 35 years forgetting about the dreaded wooden spoon, and in one fell swoop you go and trash more than three decades of nepenthean effort. There it is again, right back in the forward right lobe of the ol' cerebrum. There it would sit, baleful in the kitchen utensil drawer, awaiting a transgression of sufficient moment for it to be unveiled in its malevolence.

For truly heinous acts, though, beyond even those that warranted the wooden spoon, there was -- the hairbrush.

Has the same ring to it that I got when I saw the torture chamber at Salzburg Fortress.
