Yep...same here. Dad would have us sit and wait while he gave a suspense building performance worthy of an Oscar. He'd go through his closet carefully selecting just the right belt. Then he'd take a few warm-up lashes against the banister, before we were told to bend over. By that time the punishment was already effective, and while we got us a relatively light little lashing, the sound and the fury were more than adequate course corrections.
