There is a guy I work with who is well known for being very egotistical. As an example he has been quoted saying "Woman want me, men want to be me!" and "I was the hero last year" as he had a good year.

How can I clip his wings without stooping to his level?

Sew his name into some underpants, make a poo in them and leave them where people will see them.

Rather than being known as the 'hero' he would then be known as 'poo pants' thats certainly going down a peg or two.

Just reply with, "I'm not sure every man wants to be you." When he asks for more info, just reply, "I don't want to be you, thanks all the same."

I'd advise a long and subtle, but sustained, hate campaign, including pre meeting laxatives, inappropriate phone calls from friends, mail order sexual aids, gay mags in his desk, and good old fashioned ignoring the vain tt might be in order

That is quite funny - but use Nuttella... poo is just wrong!

tell him (and everbody else in the office) about the woman that rang to see if he wants to see his love child that he knows nothing about

of course he was unavailable at the time of the3 call and the lady in question said she would call back so you didn't take a message.

At the Xmas do, wait until he's suitably lagered, then approach him and say you want a quiet word about his career prospects. Make out that the only place to talk quietly is the Ladies.

Get him in there (this part is down to your convincingness (made up word), then run out and scream to all and sundry that he tried to take advantage of you.

Get female to go out with him one evening for drinks, get him very, very drunk. Next day female explains that he has tiny penis and erectile problems.

Problem solved.

Oh, to be clear, she doesn't have to actually do or see anything, simply get him so drunk he can't remember, and then she can say the above.

This sort of chap?



or this?



Either way, kick him in the nuts and run. Not very mature but quite satisfying.
