Way back in my early days in the Navy, we had a shop supervisor who would call you outside for a "discussion." We took to calling that the cone of silence, and it was about as silent as the TV show's cone. He caught on to our little joke, and would call somebody by name when he was po'd and say "Jones!!! CONE!!!" That was even funnier to us than having come up with the concept in the first place.
Don't know why I saw fit to mention it her, you just brought back old memories . . .
