Just an aside.

Does anyone know where the term "throwing the book at him" came from? I have this image of someone forced to stand in front of a wall and all these people tossing Websters Dictionaries and Dr. Suess story books at him.

I agree on punishing the guy, just wonder about that expression.

"Okay you villian ... take this ... a copy of my geometry text book!"

OMG, what do you do if one of the books is ... "Licking Feet for Fun and Profit."
