my supervisor..... need advice

[TonTo]

Ok, this supervisor(COO of the company) has this bull whip, and he likes to crack the whip here in the office, now, it's REALY loud! we've told him to stop it, we've hid it, zip stripped it to the desk(took 10 minutes to get it off) everything.... it's pissing me off... it echo's in this building. i don't know what else too do. any advice? the guy thinks it's funny, and fun, and says it helps him relive stress....

i can 't grab it and whip him with it....

he's not dirrecting it AT any of us.... but, it is really freaking loud, and it's begining to hurt my ears. we've made it compeltely plain and obvious that we do not like that thing, nor do we want it here.

[TonTo]

what will putting it in the freezer do? other than freeze it.. it'll just thaw out won't it?

[OuTpaTienT]

Does he leave it there overnight? Take it one night and have it chromed or bronzed.

You could use a knife and slice it a few inches from the tip, but don't slice all the way through it. That way, after a couple snaps the tip will the snap right off.

Bring a air horn to work and blow it every time he cracks the whip. Better yet, have everyone bring in an air horn.

Get some fake blood and when he cracks it say, "Please for the love of God. Stop it. My ears can't take it". And if he's an ass (which is sounds like he is) then he'll crack it again. That's when you put your hands to your ears as if you're in pain and then with the fake blood make believe your ears are bleeding.

hmmmmm, what else...

One of you employees write up a phony magizine article that looks like it came from Playboy or something like that. And have the article go into detail about how men who use, handle, display, and play with leather whips are just trying to compensate for their extremely small *****es.

mmmk, there's a few ideas. If I think of any more I'll come back. uT

i thought about that air horn thing... not a bad idea.

me 'n the database admin can goto town with those.. hehe.

Cut it up in 6 inch sections and give to your local doggies as a chew toy gift. Assuming it's made of rawhide that is.

If he doesn't stop, get aone of those air horn in a can things from your local marine supply, and every time he cracks the whip to "relieve stress", wait a few minutes for him to be back in the office and walk in a give him a blast.
Be sure to wear YOUR earplugs though..
or firecrackers when he is in the bathroom..

Out beat me to the air horn..
Go to the hardware store, and get a couple of real big nuts, like 1-1/2 or 2", tie it on the end as tight as you can and soak it in water. Do this so it can dry out overnight, and I guarantee he will not be able to untie the knot.
Coat entire whip with massive amounts of armor-all, especially the handle area.

Not trying to get anybody in trouble just pointing out a few things!

The nice(r) way.
If you have some in the co. in charge of safety or better yet a human resources person. Have them point out to him that it reduces employ efficiency and that no matter how careful he might, be that the company is liable if some one is injured.

The sneaky way
The part of a bull whip that makes the snap or pop is the last foot or two. If it is a piece of cord it is probably stitched in place. Guess what happens if the stitches "break"? If it is a piece of leather that has been known to gradually "break" also. Usually it looks like it frayed through right where it joins the rest of the whip!
