I’ve done that before. I worked in a western wear store, and a big sale was coming up. One of my (many) duties was to operate a small press to make signs for the fixtures, and on this particular day, that was supposed to be my ONLY task. The floor got busy, and one of the clerks asked me to help out, and so I did. The boss saw me and told me that I was “chained to the press until the signs were done”. I grabbed one of the chains we used to secure the leatherwear, and locked it to my wrist and the sign press. The boss came thru a while later, saw it, shook his head, and grabbed something off the shelf and went back out on the floor. I was always up to some kind of shenanigans, so I don’t think he was really surprised, lol.
Well, there you are. I would clip this and pin it up in my cubicle at work to quietly display my discontent but, well, you know. I’m working from home. My cubicle is pretty much my spare bedroom. …first world problems and all that.

Chaz deserves to be chained up for wearing purple/gray checked pants.

So, Poncho is chained for being disobedient, and Chas for being obedient…

And now Ponch pulls the dog house over to the garbage can, much like that Greek guy had to push the boulder up the mountain every day.
