I used to work with a guy who had 2 suits of the same style, but in different colors. He also commuted quite a distance to come into San Franciso. Our organization, at the time, was strict about dress code. Men had to wear suits, not sport jackets and slacks. One day, having dressed in the dark that morning, he arrived in the jacket from one of the suits and the slacks of the other. After everyone teased him unmercifully about his "sports outfit" he left early. The guy couldn't take it. He later became a manager, proving the old adage "if he/she isn't competent or in this case, able to take the heat, let's kick them upstairs."

My son also worked with a guy who would steal the desserts from all the guy's lunches while they were out working in the heat.One guy's wife helped him to "cure" the problem by baking choc. chip cookies made with ExLax.They knew who was doing the stealing but could never catch him in the act. He brought the cookies, passed them out to everyone but the culprit, and sure enough the cookies were missing from several lunch boxes at noontime. Later that afternoon, in 90 degree heat, the cookies worked their magic. The guy dashed into the portapotty, spent an enormous amount of time in there. While he relieved his misery, they wrapped an entire roll of caution tape around the potty so he was stuck inside with his just desserts...so to speak. Their desserts were never missing again.
