Mnemonic

Traditionally when it's time to punish a child it's usually the father who doles out the punishment. And how to better punish a child than to have him sit his short legs on bare folding chair legs? Folding chairs usually have a piece of cloth on the top on which you can sit, but if you remove that and only leave the metal legs... ouch!
