Contemplating what could result in this long of a time out reminded me of a story. No cartoon, but a chuckle, hopefully.

A sweet little old lady, a life-long Sunday School teacher, was lonely and decided to buy a parrot for company. The only bird within her price range had belonged to a sea captain and the pet store owner warned her that Polly had picked up some salty language. Granny was certain she could reform the parrot and bought it. A few days later some of her friends came for tea and shortly after Polly began to cuss a blue streak. Appalled, Granny grabbed the bird and popped him in the freezer for a few minutes. When she let him back out she scolded him and told him to sin no more. He agreed. A month later when her friends visited Polly backslid and talked to the gentlewomen like they were Bangkok hookers. Back in the freezer for 10 minutes. The chastened parrot promised to be good and was until the next tea when he gave his most profane performance yet. After a half hour on ice she released him. As he finally thawed he said "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'll never do it again, but tell me…what did the turkey say?"
 
RE: the parrot story.

My mother went to San Diego in the late 1930's with her sisters, she was in her early 20's.
She was walking down the street when someone behind her made some very rude comments.
She turned and was going to peel someone's hide for using such language to a lady on the street.
Turns out it was some sailors with a talkative, and very foul mouthed, parrot that was spouting the salty language.
She was so shocked, she couldn't decide who to be mad at. She did admit that she saw the humor in the situation and started laughing with them.
Some parrots live very long lives, I wonder where that parrot is today.
