As for logical consequences, the "logic" is highly debatable. If you continually arrive late for my workshop, despite my warning that lateness is unacceptable, I may find it "logical" to lock you out of my classroom.

We hope that the suffering will motivate the offender to do better in the future. — Joanna Faber

electrical wires the night before our presentation.

There were no hares, and no partridges; no whips cracking and no black men crying "Span! Span!"
