Came across a joke in a mainland Chinese magazine about a wife punishing a husband by making him kneel on the TV remote control. Every time the channel changes, he gets whacked.
This reminds me of a Hong Kong Cantonese movie I saw in the ‘60s.
The first time the husband came home late at night from a drinking session with his mates, he found the lights blazing and his wife waiting on the sofa. He got a telling-off.
The second time he came back late, the wife was sitting up in bed, feather duster in hand, thwacking it on the blanket as she ticked him off.
The third time, the wife had drawn a chalk circle on the floor, and he was made to kneel within the circle, while she slept on. If she woke up in the middle of the night and found he’d dozed off in the circle, she’d thwack the feather duster and order him to get back to the kneeling position.
The fourth time, he had to kneel on an abacus within the circle. This made it difficult for him to nod off.
The last time, he had to kneel on the abacus within the circle, and hold a full chamber pot on his head.
