An elderly man living in Sun City West AZ. was working in his yard when he was startled by a late model car that came crashing through his hedge and ended up in his front lawn. He rushed to help an elderly lady driver out of the car and sat her down on a lawn chair.
"My goodness," he said with excitement, "you appear quite elderly to be driving."
"Well, yes, I am," she replied proudly. "I'll be 97 next month, and living in Sun City AZ. for 30 years or so years, and I am now old enough that I don't even need a driver's license anymore.
The last time I went to my doctor, he examined me and asked if I had a driver's license. I told him yes and handed it to him. He took scissors out of the drawer, cut the license into pieces, and threw them in the wastebasket, saying, 'You won't be needing this anymore,' so I thanked him and left!" so when I get my car fixed up I will be on my way to Chicago to see my 15 great grand children, life is great.
This is a domestic piece written by Cal whom I know shall we just pay personally, his spankings hurt a lot, but the difference is that they are always given with a great deal of respect, love and tenderness. You can make your own mind up
I also created an audio version of this .. will share it soon!
SPANKING A YOUNG MAN TODAY BY CAL
Recently more men than I would have expected, at least of those who typically write, have been talking about their own re-discovering that there's only one sure way to educate, guide, and control an unruly, underachieving, overly playing around young man or even with a university-aged student. Nothing works better than the time-tested trousers way down, over the knee you go, good and long spanking across his bare bottom. Several times each week this years, I have increasingly received emails from Tops / Dads seeking pointers on how to establish a real disciplinary relationship with their boy or young man who needs to be pulled back or focused. Although each boy is different and the relationship, trust, and respect MUST be developed first, spanking a boy arises out of the context of a real care between the two individuals involved. Yet, there are some basic guidelines I'll share that I know from personal experience here.
The Bottom Line:
Young men always do best when their have structure, guidance, and effective discipline that is swift, sure, and dependable. You need to understand the young man, yes, and in addition to nurturing him, you must set and strictly enforce boundaries. Still, I would argue from experience that nothing works better than a good swift spanking for a young man who gets out of line.
Beginning?
In a disciplinary relationship, if he has never been in one (or took him in with the understanding he would be in one), some power struggles are always going to have to be eliminated. You decides when, where, and why punishment will occur and you draw that line very, very clearly. You boy must understand and come to ultimately accept that punishment can occur at any time. He is spanked whenever you see fit to spank him. He will have no say when or how his spankings will occur. If he has never been spanked before (some these days never have!), you can expect some resistance to your decisions to spank him; but you must enforce your decisions and follow through no matter what. Over time, he will come to understand that when you decide to spank him, he will be spanked. He may not think he needs one or even that he deserves one, but he will learn that your decision is final and he will get one.
You must first have a good relationship based on respect, trust, care, and real love and concern for him and his future. In this context, his punishment and his spankings follow naturally and can be extremely educational. He needs to know and emotionally be sure that you are spanking him for his own best future. And he must know his discipline and spankings will occur now and for the foreseeable future.
His Rules:
Begin by thoroughly understanding him and his own goals and expectations for his future. Many young men have no idea what that means and thus it takes a lot of talking with and communicating to really understand him, but it is worth the time and effort in the long run. His spankings, after all, will be used to guide him toward his own goals and to educate him while keeping him focused on them. He must understand he will be spanked whenever he breaks the mutually agreed upon rules as well as when he breaks any "house rules" you happen to insist upon for him to be around your house. That is the case here.
In addition, the young man also needs to understand that there will be times when he gets moody or out of sorts, regardless of his age, and that on those occasions when you sense he needs some quality time across your lap, he will get it swiftly.
But as for his rules, they must be rules with accompanying consequences for any disobedience and they must be as specific and succinct as possible.
For example: If you want him to study each night for a university exam before the evening meal or take the trash out or even just make the bed each morning, write down exactly which nights and at what time (or by what time). State the rule positive but also state exactly what will happen should he forget or be late (and make sure it always does!).
Always state your rules positively. Tell him what you want rather than what you do not want.
For example: "I want your course work finished by 9 p. m. on weekdays" rather than "I don't want you struggling to finish your coursework late in the evenings when you have had all afternoon to do it."
Start with those things that are most important to your and his agreed upon goals and objectives but make sure he knows you can, and will, always add to them. For example: in university Larry's rules always included his completing his coursework before dinner so we could go over it all right afterwards. Rules varied during sport's training season and on the weekends and vacations, but we always worked on increasing his reading and writing skills and those academic tricks that make a difference. Today he holds a full research fellowship.
Make sure your young man understands his rules carefully and that he signs them before you post them where both of you can always see them. In our house, Larry's rules were in the kitchen right beside where his punishment paddle always hung waiting. He did not screw up often, but young men sometimes have short memories.
When To Spank:
Some men spank their boys only on one specifically designated day and time of each week – often on a Saturday at 10 in the morning or 9 at night or Sunday at noon. Some men pick two or even three days each week and keep a check list of anything he has done in between times. In our house, Larry was typically spanked in the evening after we had gone over things and talked about everything going on. Basically I usually had more time and less pressure on me for other things during the evenings and could devote more time to him and then ultimately to his young bare fanny. Some might argue he was spanked too often, yet, I remind them, today he holds a fellowship. Not bad! I never spanked him when I mad or angry and I never raised my voice.
Typically though, review and punishment sessions should occur each week. They do here. Usually even if the young man has been good, he may still need or could benefit from a spanking to keep him focused and moving forward. Use the time to counsel him on how he can improve even better and then tan his bare bottom for him to insure he does not slip.
Sometimes, an immediate correction is called for. A swift and unexpected yanking down of his jeans and briefs to bare his buns for a spanking can be effective and helpful, but remember to never spank him when you are irrational or beyond yourself in anger. If someone else happens to be there at that point, take him aside privately and spank him in a spare room regardless of whether that other person can overhear it. Some men do spank a boy with others in the room. Yes, that works too. No boy wants others to see (or hear) his getting spanked and a boy with a fine, red, bare bottom pulling himself up from over your lap while tears are still in his eyes for all to see is embarrassed. Some men even argue it is more educational and a greater punishment when that happens. It depends on the boy. Larry and Aaron often got spanked together, Chris was occasionally spanked in front of others, Bruce these days never has been . . . yet.
Beginning The Discipline Session:
If the young man has been told that his discipline with take place at "x" hour, he should be there and on time. Some men specify what he is to be wearing. Typically his clothing is comfortable and easy to remove. Sweatpants, T-shirt with underpants is rather common among men I know.
Read him the rule(s) or regulation(s) he has broken and let him know you are disappointed in his behavior. Tell him exactly how he will be punished. Normally his punishment will begin with a traditional over the knee spanking as such spankings establish an intimate bond. They are nurturing and should be administered with care and love ultimately across his tight bare bottom.
How to Administer an OTK Hand Spanking:
Sit on a straight back chair with your legs together slightly angled. Call him to you and he will stand in front of you. Some men will tell him to put his hands on his head and keep them there (if he does not, a quick slap of a strap will remind him). Some will then, while still lecturing him on his conduct and their disappointment, begin to unloosen the draw strings on his sweat pants and pull them down to a clump around his knees. To embarrass him more, they then put their fingers in the elastic of his briefs and themselves gently take them down to that same clump now around his ankles. Some young men will become erect but it does not matter. He knows he has more important things to worry about. Some men will have the boy turn around to show them his bare ass that he knows is about to be spanked. A few pats to his bare buns usually raises his nervousness. The more tension you build up, the more effective and meaningful his spanking is likely to be. His behavior in breaking his rules has resulted in his losing his right to certain things and thus if you want to pat his bare buns, do so. Do not hesitate to touch or go over him any way you wish. Ultimately you will know everything about your boy anyway.
Personally, when I spank my boys I first hold them tightly and we talk a lot and for a long time at this "stage."
At your pleasure guide him across your lap and get him comfortable with his hands extended on the carpet and his feet fully stretched behind him with his toes turned inward. Bend the naughty boy over your knee with his trousers on (if you haven't already removed them).
Other men often prefer to spank a boy first on his pants, then remove them and spank him on his briefs, and then finally later remove those also and spank his bare bottom. Ultimately it is completely up to you and what you prefer with your boy.
Lower his underpants yourself. Remind him that part of his punishment is humiliation. Sure, it is embarrassing to be spanked bare bottom and he knows it is going to hurt. That is right! It is suppose to be all of that plus more! Spend a great deal of time on the bare bottom spanking. In general, the older he is the longer it takes to spank him right. Spank rhythmically and alternate cheeks. Keep your hand on his buns and do not hesitate to squeeze, grip, or pat them either. Work him up to a high emotional peak then spank him well. If he does not cry some before you finish, you simply have not reached him emotionally . . . yet. It has nothing to do with pain.
When you actually slap his bare buns, cup your hand to mold against his lower buttocks. Let your hand rest on his buns while you are talking with him and make sure he is well positioned with his bare bottom right up high over your lap or knees and his legs spread enough for you to have a good view of where you are educating him. Remember to spank solidly and build up the intensity of the spanking.
Some men start with a volley of 20 or far more quick, hard slaps. In between these volleys, rub his buns and work it in deep. Other men work up slowing but surely, never stop until the boy is sobbing. Never stop when those sobs begin. Keep spanking him until you are sure he has learned the lesson you are teaching him. Always make it meaningful.
A good hand spanking should always leave his bare bottom very, very red and very, very hot to the touch. If you are doing it right, you will not leave marks or bruises.
Hairbrush Spankings:
Usually your hand should do the job, but there are times when you will want to give him the brush. Nothing punishes a young man's bare bottom like the hairbrush. Use with discretion. It should be reserved for times when he has really gotten out of line. Again, if you do it right you will not bruise him at all.
Other Implements:
I recommend easy to find items. The leather slipper works extremely well. Switches can be picked from your own backyard. Leather belts are sold everywhere. Canes can be found in certain specialty shops. Wooden paddles are simple to make and I make any boy who comes here makes his own.
Spanking Positions:
Have your boy ultimately completely naked for purposes of embarrassment and humiliation. Have him bend over the chair or touch his hands to his knees. Tell him to arch up and ask to be punished.
He can also be positioned flat on his stomach on the couch or across a bed. Several pillows to prop up his bottom are a nice touch. Do not use whips and switches until you are positive you know how to apply them for maximum effect with no damage or lasting marks. This takes time to learn and is why I occasionally do groups for men on this one.
Additional Ways To Punish:
Though spanking my boys over my knees is my personal favorite because of effectiveness and building a solid bond between the two of us, you can and should employ other forms of punishment to drive the lesson home. Several techniques that men I know use effectively:
So-called Corner time - Standing in the corner gives a bare and spanked boy plenty of time for reflection. Some men will stand the boy there in just a tee shirt with or without socks, but many men I know make their boys stand there naked. If they are forced to stand with their nose against the wall, it often highlights their just spanked bottoms and can be especially embarrassing if the two of you are not alone. If, for any reason, your boy cannot stand still, pull him back over your lap and paddle him again. You would be amazed at how fast he can learn.
So-called Writing Lines - Give him a writing assignment. Choose a specific behavior you would like to change and have him write the sentence over and over. Sounds strange, but it works. Young men hate it!
So-Called Essay Writing - Have him write an essay entitled, 'What I Learned From My Punishment Tonight.' Make sure he knows that if his essay is not detailed enough you intend to spank him all over again.
One other which is always controversial: Enemas. Yes, some boys respond very well to them and their deterrent effects (see the story Jeff, who is 18, just wrote). When done right this can be a very emotional experience for the boy and very good for purging and clearing out bad behavior. There are specific techniques for this but I'm posted some things from men who employ this previously. A spanking combined with an enema can be extremely "hot" for the boy, if this is your intent; but, only some boys respond that way. As in everything, you have to know the boy you are mentoring or guiding and know his extremely well.
Quick Slaps Many boys take to briefs, boxers, or shorts inside the house. Pulling them down suddenly for a few well placed slaps works exceptionally well and often lets the boy know he is getting close to one. Be creative!
After his Punishment Bring him back into the Fold:
Hugs are always in order and I mean tight long ones with lots of pats and strokes. Remember to tell your boy that all is forgiven and he now has a clean slate. Give him praise and positive reinforcement. Make sure he knows you care for him. This takes a LONG time but it is crucial! Remember that you're looking after his interests and you ultimately appreciate and respect this boy who has just been spanked and is in tears. If you did not care for him, you would not take the time to spank him! And, remember: you are going to do it again!
In Summary:
When done right, spankings are a loving, effective way towards establishing a solid and very positive relationship with your young man. Assuming and taking control of a boy empowers you too, sure, but it can be used to build up a boy's pride in his body and utter surety that he has a man in his life who cares and will continue to. The results can be spectacular! But the bonds and long-lasting friendships and relationships go on for years and years and years. Ultimately the boy will come to share and talk with you about everything and respect you as someone who as a man and will help him find his place in life with happiness and security. Boys are comfortable with men who are crystal clear. If you still do not believe me, meet some of those who have been or lived here!
Spanking is universal and found all over the world. Although not all young men get it, you can be sure that on any give night and far more so on weekends, there are many young men who have their jeans and briefs in a clump around their ankles and their bare fannies sunny side up over their man's lap about to get a spanking. And, even more importantly, they are benefiting from it!
How long does it take me to spank one of my boys? Usually two to three hours but it all depends on the boy and the relationship. The spanking comes out of the relationship and is not about pain. No way!
Hope this might be helpful to those who have written with questions recently? Anyway, I tried.
A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, and asked,
"What are the grounds for your divorce?"
She replied,
"About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property with a stream running by."
"No," he said, "I mean what is the foundation of this case?"
"It is made of concrete, brick and mortar," she responded.
"I mean," he continued, "What are your relations like?"
"I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, and so do my husband's parents."
He said, "Do you have a real grudge?"
"No," she replied, "We have a two-car carport and have never really needed one."
"Please," he tried again, "is there any infidelity in your marriage?"
"Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don't necessarily like the music, but the answer to your questions is 'yes'."
"Ma'am, does your husband ever beat you up?"
"Yes," she responded, "about twice a week he gets up earlier than I do."
Finally, in frustration, the judge asked,
"Lady, why do you want a divorce?"
"Oh, I don't want a divorce," she replied.
"I've never wanted a divorce.
My husband does.
He said he can't communicate with me."
And my own bare bottom is not rosy red! My Top thinks it should be all the time! :lolp:
I wrote this some time ago and it is fiction!
"I don't know what Uncle Tom expected from me. After all, I'm a normal 21 year old with buddies I hang out with. So why would I want to spend a month in New York with Uncle Tom? Especially right in the middle of summer!
Dad tried to make it sound so exciting. But I know he just wanted to get rid of me, on account of him wanting to spend time with his new girlfriend. The last thing he wanted was me around geting in the way. He kept talking about all the computers and games at Uncle Toms offices, he owned the company A gaming software house.
Big deal! That's what I thought at the time.
You see, Uncle Tom has always had a special interest in me–even though he's not really my Uncle. Dad and Uncle Tom went to the same college and when they graduated both started their own business, Dad in electronics sales and Uncle Tom in computer software, namely gaming. They had both helped one another over the years build up their respective businessess and were almost like brothers. Uncle Tom had treated me well over the years, great gifts on birthdays and Xmas and he showed me a lot of affection, too much though in my opinion and I often found it irritating when he would ruffle my hair or bear hug me, he still did this even though I was 21. In the past I used to see Uncle Tom several times a week but last year he moved his company to New York.
But to me, Uncle Tom was just an annoying friend of my Dad's . I honestly wished he'd just leave me alone. But not this summer.
"I know this isn't where you wanted to spend the summer, Matt," he said as he walked me from the air terminal, putting his arm around my shoulder. "But I've got lots of ideas for things to do that will make this a summer you'll remember."
"Great," I said. I bet he could tell how un-excited and un-interested I was!
The next day "a Friday" WAS kinda interesting. Uncle Tom's offices really did have lots of neat stuff. Computers. Games. Virtual reality section. I guess I got kind of excited, but I made sure Uncle Tom didn't notice. I felt like he was responsible for taking my summer vacation away. I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of seeing me enjoy myself.
The next day "Saturday" Uncle Tom kept coming up with lame ideas for us to do together. I vetoed all of them. I ended up watching TV while Uncle Tom read a book.
After supper, he said we could go to the cinema. I told him I didn't want to. Uncle Tom got a little testy. HE wanted to watch a movie and, since he didn't want to leave me alone, I'd just have to come along.
The movie was shown on a big screen 3D job and not really my theme. The movie was kinda sad and about this family that goes through tough times, you know the Dad looses his job, the mom gets real ill and the eldest son becomes distant, doing his own thing and not caring. Anyway, they had lots of problems. I remember a scene with the dad and the eldest son (he was about 20 I think) real clearly. I think what happened changed my summer all around.
The Son took a temper tantrum about his Dad challanging him drinking and got back a lot of cheek and unpleasent words from the son "I have had enough," he shouted. So he grabbed the son and spanked him. The Dad had simply grabbed the boy by the ear and hauled him over to a straight back chair, the boys pants were down very quickly and he was over his Dads knees. The spanking fascinated me, and my brain went from curious to real interested when the Dad took down the boys white briefs and two rather red bottom cheeks were displayed. The Spanking continued on the boys bare bottom. No 'love pats' either. I mean he gave him an old-fashioned 'pants-downer'
After the spanking, the Dad and Boy spent some time huging and bonding again, I was mesmerised by this. I mean the dude had just gotten his ass tanned but good and yet there he was huging and thanking his Dad, promising to do better' The Dad made a comment 'I'm sorry son I should have done that a long time ago, but now things will be better'
At that point, Uncle Tom put his arm around me and gave me a hug in the dark.
On the way home, Uncle Tom said, "I guess we know the secret how to get to like me."
"What?"
"I need to spank you!" he said with a laugh. "Then you and I will bond together, just like in the movie."
"Yeah, sure," I replied, sounding as sarcastic as I could muster. "Whatever."
But, secretly, I'd been thinking about the spanking in the movie, too. Bare bottom? I'd never heard of such a thing! I'd been spanked a few times, for sure but may years ago. But dad always did it on the pants! Something about bare-bottom spankings fascinated me.
Not that I wanted one. They just interested me. That's all.
Over the next several days, Uncle Tom kept bringing it up. Jack Rodgers, one of Uncle Tom's friends came over Sunday afternoon. He works for Uncle Tom, too. he's older though, with two boys already grown up and graduated from college.
"I'm thinking of disciplining Matt while he's with me this summer, Jack" Uncle Tom said. "You reared two boys. Any advice on spankings? I've heard bare bottom is best!"
Uncle Tom was just teasing me. But Jack Rodgers didn't know that. He goes on for a long time about the benefits of "pants-downers." He said he used to spank his boys regularly, so they'd see spankings as normal. On days he spanked them, he said, they'd get another before thy went to bed.
"Spanking is fatherly love, Tom. The boy will understand it if you're regular and consistent about it. But don't let things build up. Spank at the beginning of mischief not at the end. And make sure you get to it at least several times a week. Otherwise, it becomes something dreadful and fearful. And you've stored up your annoyance, so you can't spank in a loving way."
That night, after Jack left, Uncle Tom told me it was late and time for bed. I didnt want to go to bed and so procastinated as long as I could.
"I guess I'll have to give you your first spanking right now!" he declared, his hands on his hips. "And right on your bare bottom!"
Then he laughed. I went a little red in the face but decided to go to bed anyway.
The next day, Uncle Tom had to remind me twice to take out the garbage and I could tell he was getting a little frustrated.
"I guess you'll have to spank me!" I declared, giving Uncle Tom his own joke right back at him.
"No time," he declared seriously. "Got to get to work. But if you remind me, I'll spank you after supper tonight."
"Sure," I said. "Whatever."
During lunch in the cafeteria at Uncle Tom's office, Jack Rodgers joined us. I'd spent the morning in the virtual reality section. So I was in a good mood.
"Matt got a lot out of what you told us yesterday," Uncle Tom told him. "In fact, to help him remember to do his morning chores promptly and without a lot of reminders Matt asked me to spank him tonight."
"Really?" Jack has no sense of humor, Uncle Tom was teasing.
"Yup!" I said right back, without cracking a smile. "On the bare bottom too!"
"Well, good for you!" he declared.
Then he told us how his own boys would come forward on their own when they knew they needed spanking.
"As a single Dad, I had to depend on the boys to know for themselves when they needed punishing. Same as you, Tom."
For the rest of the day, we kept up the joke. By the time we left for home, a half dozen people had been told about my upcoming "spanking."
But the more we joked about it, the more curious I became. I didn't WANT a spanking. Like any boy and of course I was after all 21, that just could not happen, when I was younger I HATED spankings. But there was something about Uncle Tom spanking my bare bottom that well excited me.
The idea seemed to excite Uncle Tom, too.
"I suppose I should call your Dad and tell him I'm going to be punishing you from now on. I should probably tell him how I plan to do it, too."
"No!" I exclaimed, blushing. "There's no reason to tell Dad. I'm old enough to decide for myself if I want you to punish me!"
Somehow, the spanking kept getting more and more real as we talked about it.
"I suppose you think it's all just a big joke," he said, as if reading my mind. "Maybe you could think up another punishment instead."
"You're not chicken, are you?"
"Certainly NOT!" Uncle Tom replied hotly.
"Ever spanked anybody?"
"Well, no," he said. "I suppose I could do some homework."
After dinner, he called Jack, asking his advice on how to administer a proper spanking.
I headed for the bathroom while they both talked and talked about spankings.
I brushed my teeth then headed for my room where I changed into my sleep shorts and Tee.
I heard a knock at the door. Before I could answer, Uncle Tom came in with one of the kitchen chairs in his left hand, sitting it down in the middle of the room he came towards me.
"Spanking time!" he declared firmly, taking me by the arm over to the chair and sat down
"Don't be afraid!"
"I'm not scared!" I replied hotly.
"Then over my lap!" he said, patting his left thigh.
Oddly, I did as he said. Maybe I didn't want him telling everybody that I behaved cowardly. Maybe I was curious about "pants-downers." Maybe I didn't really think he would actually do it.
Of course, it wasn't a "pants-downer," I thought because I had on my shorts.
That thought changed quickly though as Uncle Tom wrapped one arm around my waist and pulled my shorts down.
Then I got to find out what it's like to get spanked on the bare bottom.
Let me tell you, in case you've never had one. First, it STINGS. I mean really, REALLY stings! The other thing is that your bottom gets real HOT! I've heard talk about getting a "scorching" spanking. This was the first one I'd ever gotten that burned.
I guess Jack told Uncle Tom to keep spanking and spanking for a long, long time. I always cried when I was spanked. But this time, I really let go after awhile. I just sobbed and sobbed and sobbed. I felt completely drained when Uncle Tom finally stopped spanking me.
Then he did a funny thing. He wrapped me up in his arms on his lap, my hot, stinging, throbbing bottom pressed uncomfortably against the cloth of his pants.
He slowly rocked back and forth. I found myself hugging him
Then we talked. For a long time. I asked if his hand was OK. He said it stung and throbbed a bit. I told him not as much as my poor butt. We both laughed.
Over the next few weeks I went over Uncle Tom's lap on several occasions and he took Jack Rodgers advice too, I always got my bottom tanned again before bed. We both knew I needed the spankings and we both knew Uncle Tom enjoyed having me over his knees.
A few months later I moved to New York and joined Uncle Tom's firm as a games tester. It was nartural that I whould stay with him until I got my own place. That was over two years ago and today I am quite successfull and have Uncle Tom's helping hand to thank for that. I am regulalry spanked when Uncle Tom thinks I need it and no matter how well I have done over the Week, Sunday's are always spanking days. Uncle Tom decided that I needed at the minimum a weekly spanking to keep me a 'good boy' and I can tell you that they hurt and sting just as much as any punishment spanking does. Well today is Sunday and I am heading for my bedroom, the tight white shorts and tee are laid out on my bed, the same straight back chair is in the middle of the room (it is now a pernament fixture in my bedroom). Soon my bare bottom will be red, hot and I will be sobbing over the thighs of Uncle Tom.
Hope you all enjoy and had a good weekend!
Botoms up and heads well down
25 reasons why Tops / Dads who spank are so awesome:
Hmmm I like the leather pups one best! :hapgay:
Yep fridays are good days for spankings me thinks! :hot:
This isnt exactly rib tickling, but funny in its own way:
Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig..
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
PS. - Why doesn't 'Buick' rhyme with 'quick'?

There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP.'
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP?
Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?
We call UP our friends.
And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen.
We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.
At other times the little word has real special meaning.
People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special.
A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary.
In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used.
It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP.
When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP.
When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.
When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP.
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP,
so….....it is time to shut UP!
:thankyou:
These are excellent, love the one with the bad boy over the chair waiting for his bottom to be warmed!
Yes I think it is down to each boy on the embaressment level, for example I find it both exciting and embaressing having my jeans unfastened and my briefs slipped down prior to going over the knee. I do think though in a relationship defiately there should be certain clothes worn specifcally for spankings, mine is sweat pants and briefs and white tee but reserved for my maintenance spanking sessions, other than that it doesnt matter what I have on as I always get spanked on my bare bottom.
On a train from London to Manchester:
An Australian was berating the Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment.
"You English are too stuffy. You set yourselves apart too much.
You think your stiff upper lip makes you above the rest of us.
Look at me… I'm ME! I have Italian blood, Greek blood, a little Irish blood, and some Aborigine blood.
What do you say to that ?"
The Englishman replied, "Awfully sporting of your mother, old chap!"
