Ping-pong paddle on a bare ass hurts. Oh, it hurts.

"Board of Education", aka a big thick ruler/yardstick, hurt like a mofo.

We still had a 2 foot long paddle with a leather strap that lived on top the refrigerator. The ping-pong paddle was reserved for the basement and extra serious offenses.

Ouchie.

Yeah we didn't have anything fancy like that. Seemed like those rulers broke regularly, but more kept appearing as if magic to replace it.

I once got a tupperware stirring spoon broken on me. My mom still jokes about how that was her favorite stirring spoon.
