I like Duke's Mom's answer as well. It worked for me when our son said he wanted a tatoo ... I told him I would go with him and have a penguin tatooed on my right cheek ... just above the wasteband, if you know what I mean ... while he was having his tatoo done.
He is now 21 and can do as he pleases, but the threat of a very chubby penquin showing up at one of his baseball games as I leaned over to pick up my scorebook ... well, that seems to have done the trick for a while.

We learn a lot from crayons:
some are sharp; some are dull; some are pretty;
some have weird names; all are different colors.
And they all have to learn to live in the same box.
