Yeah, I was joking. I went to school a long time ago and the cane was normal for misbehaving - pretty bad incidents though admittedly. For persistent offenders, the old headmaster personally meted out punishment with a huge size 12 tennis shoe which he dubbed 'Big Bertha' after a World War 2 French Field Gun, I believe.
