Charlie's comment on the cartoon was this:
"...I noticed that manager at a local Denny's restaurant using some sort of thermometer gun to measure the temperature of the griddle, frying cooking oil, soup pots, salad compartments, etc.
I wonder if that could be used "before" and "after" aimed at a bare bottom?"
That started me thinking. Perhaps you could use a thermometer to test for hotness, and use technology to tell when a spanking was "well-done". After some research on my favourite kitchen supply site, I found a few thermometers that might do the trick.
Press the tip of this digital thermometer gently against the buttock to be tested. Temperature will display in only five seconds.
This thermometer rests directly on the bottom, and will detect temperatures between 175 and 600 degrees F. You'll know when your sit spots have been seared.
This probe-style thermometer will tell you when your buns are well-done, an essential outcome in any spanking.
