Ever read the book by Minette Walters?

Yes, this here is a real-life Scold's Bridle, used by the lord of a
16th century manor (visted today by yours truly) as judgment in court
for a nagging wife. Just a few hours led around town by this, and you
were likely to end up with a broken nose and several broken teeth.
Since I can't pretend that I never nag Mike, I'm glad that we don't
have these at home.
