Socal appears to be a closet heterosexual trust fund kiddo that prances around as a batty boy to avoid a high society arranged marriage.

I mean that in the best possible way.

This gave me an idea. I had my secretary contact the law firm to go over the final agenda, but had her note emphatically that for cultural reasons, they should expect to take their shoes off before coming into the conference room. Otherwise, the senior person Japan could be offended.

Sure enough, when they began to file in, the attorneys were in stocking feet. My assistant closed the door, and then I announced that our senior guest was unfortunately unable to come but that we should get to the agenda immediately.

The meeting went downhill for the attorneys from there, but decidedly well for the rest of us.

Moronic? Yes. Childish? Yes...but I loved it.

Did you poop in their shoes while they were in the meeting, for the final insult?

I did once have a box of adult diapers placed prominently on a conference table once and told everyone we would not be leaving the room until we had a resolution for a particular problem completely mapped out.
