Update? Has Clyde returned to work? Did he receive a hero's welcome? I'm thinking he would've gotten the Office Space variant of a ticker tape parade.
Since it was requested...........Clyde returned to work on the 23rd to a hero's welcome. Since the incident took place, word had spread like wildfire throughout the building, so even those who weren't privy to the first wave of soiled toilet-paper incidents now knew everything that had gone down. Clyde got a lot of standing ovations as he did his morning cleaning. He seemed very shy and was waving people's salutations off with a self-effacing "Maaaaaaaaaan, look..... I didn't do nothin'..." etc.He was VERY happy that I made good for the suspension days in his bonus. He actually came out well ahead and was glad he wasn't "looked down upon" by management. Looked down upon ? If only I could have told him what a hero he'd become ! He didn't want the ham though - "Clyde don't dig on swine." Sounded like Samuel L in Pulp Fiction... I almost wet myself I was laughing so hard. I took the ham to my mom's house Christmas Eve and we ate it there.Clyde actually left work that Thursday - went to the liquor store, bought a bottle of Johnny Walker Black, and came back to the office at 5:00 to give it to me as a gift for taking care of the situation. I couldn't accept it as such, so I sat Clyde down, and we did shots in my office until about 6:00, shooting the ##### about life, kids, aging, poor bathroom habits - you name it. Good times. The bottle is still 1/4 full and in the bar in my office.No sign of the Mad Pooper. I was hoping we weren't going to have "ROT IN HELL" written in diarrhea across the sign out front when I got back o work on the 27th, but no such incidents have occurred. The furor has died down, Clyde's happy, I'm happy, and the building smells terrific.
