Of the other two 12 of the best incidents I mentioned in an earlier post, the punishment at my school was probably mild as I never saw any evidence of a caning at that school even though they happened several times a term. And as for my friend who fainted during his second six, well I think that fact speaks for itself, an excessive and brutal punishment.
