Now this is a creative way to get back at a cheating husband. William Taylor was forced by his wife to stand on a busy road in their local town center wearing a huge sign that read: "I cheated. This is my punishment."

Taylor's wife came up with the humiliating punishment after figuring out her hubby was cheating by checking his cell phone.

Taylor, who lives in Centreville, Virginia said his wife wanted him to stand with the sign for a week. He first thought his wife was joking, but "I figured I got to do what I got to do to makes things right. So here I am," he told a local TV station.

Drivers passing by honked at Taylor during the morning rush hour. While his wife has a wicked sense of humor, she also has compassion. After two hours of standing at the busy intersection, Taylor got a call from his wife saying he could return home.
