Shame can be a powerful punishment. Just ask the guy who had to stand at the corner of Leesburg Pike and International Drive in Tysons Corner, Va., on Wednesday morning.
You know, the guy wearing the sign that said, "I CHEATED. THIS IS MY PUNISHMENT."
William Taylor, of Centreville, Va., told a passerby that he cheated on his wife -- and she found evidence of it on his cell phone. So the wife doled out a rather creative punishment: He had to stand at the intersection during morning rush, wearing the handmade sign.
People reported seeing him as early as 9 a.m., and his presence was discussed on several of D.C.'s morning radio shows. A little before 11 a.m., Taylor's wife texted him and said he'd been out there long enough. He removed the sign and skedaddled.
Leesburg Pike in Tysons Corner is one of the most traffic-clogged arteries in the area, making for maximum viewing pleasure.
Hope it was worth it, buddy.

I think there’s a county music song in there somewhere. LOL - absolutely! But the final stanza is still to come, after he goes home to sweety pie...

Oh how sorry I am I missed this. Right there at the Mall. (Not that you could pay me to drive down Route 7 during rush hour.) The guy probably lost a couple of years of life just breathing the fumes. He is well and truly spanked.

I wonder what his wife was doing for the two or three hours while he was being repentant.

My guy would WISH that his punishment would mean standing on a corner with an embarrassing sign!
