Yep, I've had the fly swatter, that was my great grandmother's favorite correctional tool. I noticed they didn't list The Church Hymnal either.

My aunt "tuned" my cousin and me up one day with a Hymnal. She was the piano player at church and was trying to practice at their house. We were noncompliant with her orders and she really layed into us with that song book.... it was epic.
I remember being pattled in elementary school with a ping pong paddle that had holes drilled in itWe had two primary tools at parents disposal. Inside, dad had a very narrow, super limp belt that had to be form his childhood. Outside, we had a weeping willow tree. The worst was when you had to go outside and fetch your own willow branch to bring back inside.

You know what really made my mom mad? Started as you suggested having to go outside and get a bush branch or switch and coming back with either one of two things. Something covered in leaves that would take an hour to de-leaf before it could actually be used to smack my butt/calf muscle or a thin pathetic dead branch that would disintegrate upon contact.We had two primary tools at parents disposal.
