Olden Days Punishment

When my dad was a kid, and he got in trouble, there was a wide variety of punishments the teacher could choose from. Weather it was getting hit with a ruler, standing in the corner, or even the teacher throwing wooden chalkboard erasers across the room, the punishments were bad. But the one he remembers the most is having to write 200 lines for talking. But this wasn't the normal writing lines. No, he would have to write lines with one of those pens with the different colors, and you could change colors by pressing a little switch. But it gets worse. Every word had to be a different color. So not only was it very tedious, but by the time he was half way through the page, his hands would start to cramp, but he had to keep writing.
