 Have you ever had a time out?  I'm sure most of us have.  Even famous people have time outs.  Napoleon Bonaparte, for example.  "He saw Italy and said, `Mine.' He pointed to Holland, Spain, Austria, Russia, and England and said, "Mine, all mine,' " which earned him two time-outs on two separate islands.  Even Christopher Columbus earned a time out for fibbing to Queen Isabella when he returned from his trip to America.  Babe Ruth was given a time out for treating his manager badly.  What other famous people in history were given time outs for their bad behavior?
SUBJECTS:     Celebrities -- Anecdotes.
