This is a great corollary. Here's another one for you:

You know I used to beat and zap my dog when it was a bad boy but no matter
how bad the beating I gave it, it still drooled too much and shit on the
carpet, being the big, dumb lard-ass that he is.

So I decided to use another dog as an example. The next time he shit on the
carpet I beat a stray dog just to show him what was could happen to him if
he fucked up again. But all he did was get pissed off and bark a lot.

Finally I came up with a method that worked. Whenever he barked too much,
bit the neighbor kid or fucked up somehow I would hold up a cat and blow
it's brains out with a shotgun. Well now *that* had an effect! The dog was
both joyful at the cat's demise but also got painfully deafened by the noise
from the shotgun going off. He is now the most obedient dog I have ever
owned.

And so it goes. The strange combination of joy and pain also seems to work
on scuba divers, at least by my reckoning.
