Taylor said his wife had wanted him to stand with the sign for a week.

But after two hours he received a call to say that his punishment was over. He said that he thought his wife was joking when she suggested the idea.

"I thought she was kidding, but she was serious," he said. "I figured I got to do what I got to do to makes things right. So here I am."
