The “What do you like?” site to which I linked in a post other day gives one access to Google’s library of patents, including a fair selection of spanking machines. Yet the one which caught my imagination was Patent 4834657, from 1989, for a “Punishment wheel”:
As you’ll see from the picture, it’s a fairly simple concept: the offender spins the wheel, and the device selects the punishment that is to be meted out from the choices installed on the base of the machine – “”Grounded”, “No dessert”, “Swats” and suchlike.
It reminds me rather of Haron’s post a few years back about “Spanking Roulette” – and, indeed, of the spanking dice we had made up by a toy manufacturer a few years back – which we know have been put to good use by a fair few friends. (The first dice contains a list of implements, the second determines the number of whacks!). What’s weird, though, is to see someone patenting something like this so recently…
