Dave I now know why at least part of your day was bad...Sorry hope you did not hurt yourself from jumping once you felt the wetness, also hope the laptop survived.

Quotemake up a sign that reads, "Not only do I leach off me Mum & Dad, but I just piddled all over the furniture!", then take pictures of them with that sign while they sleep, and post them on the internet where all their friends will see it.

too funny lol, that would be a priceless moment once they checked there facebook page

That's kind of the idea. The practice of "shunning", of which Shaming is a type of offshoot, was once a very popular, not to mention effective, form of "social stigma discipline" that would make it very difficult for the offending party to get along for a time (even for their entire lives, if the crime was severe enough) because nobody would even so much as talk to the afflicted party. Anyone caught doing so was similarly treated. It made a VERY effective deterrent, especially in smaller communities, because if you were shunned for TOO long, you stood a REALLY good chance of dying.

Dave my friend, I consider you a Wise Old Owl and hold your knowledge and wisdom in high esteem.

Now you may consider the UK to be a "Small Community" compared to where you reside, but, even here, we have rules and regulations that govern our very being. Murder and Man Slaughter, Accidental or otherwise, are frowned upon here.

I do like your idea though, but the overall outcome may be seen as a little Harsh by some, therefore, I feel I should place this advise On The Back Burner for now.

Maybe I should just wait until the little darlings have their own habitats and simply return the privilege. 

Thanks for your input though.

Some towns here still have stocks...I don't recall anyone saying we cannot still use them 

Rottingdean (a suburb of Brighton) has a 'whipping post lane'. No longer a whipping post there though.

Just down the road (200 yards) from Rudyard Kipling's old abode. He wrote "The Jungle Book".

Though I suspect you have them in the UK, here across the pond, many places have the "Woodshed" or "Woodpile" behind which, in days gone by, one could actually be introduced to the "Board of Education", as it were! Ooouchhh!!

Safe, effective, no inherent side effects and any associated pain usually wore off within a brief period of time. Hopefully, while there, some valuable lessons were imparted and hopefully learned by the recipient. 

Can't do that in most places any longer due to the "emotional stress" and "emotional scaring" it causes. A likely story!

I've personally been taken out "to the woodshed" many a time, in a very literal sense. Couldn't go "behind" the woodshed, because that's where the creek was. Ah, memories!

Does anyone remember this, would probably have to be from the UK,  its a bit childish but somehow its funny, two old me acting like that. 

 

"I can juuuuussssst make her out."
"That's the closest you've ever come to getting off with a girl."

HAAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Quote from: Data on November 01, 2012, 00:00:51 AMtwo old me acting like that.   

Very funny that Data, not sure if that was a Typo or an admission. 

Who's to say it can't be both?

I remember those, nice post 

Stumbled on this, still makes me laugh. 

Very good, don't remember seeing that one before 

Thanks for making me grin on a miserable sat morning. 
It's 10:30 and I still need the lights on.
