LOL, same here. I'm still not sure if my Pop wouldn't of cracked me with a bat when I pounded my brother one day. Luckily he went with the belt.
This happened to my cousins;
Mom went off to a night class and left Dad alone with five kids, who went bananas playing, fighting, throwing pillows etc. Dad was NOT the disciplinarian in the family.
He said over and over, "If you kids don't quiet down I'm going to take my belt to you!"
Had no effect. Continue food fights, running with scissors, etc.
"All right, that's it, I've had it!" Jerks off his belt --- and his pants fell down around his ankles!
Complete hysteria for hours, a family story told forever.
