punishment · status: performed · last event: changed (2007-02-05) · owner: John
On 30 January 2007 John accidentally CC'd Hank on an email and so owed a punishment. He argued by phone that the email was not punishable, but Hank made him choose one of two punishments; on 5 February John tried waxing his chin, bled, and said they would have to switch punishments.
