dapaterson said:"Stupid is forever" works on both sides of the ledger. Everyone knows one or two people who always call in sick the day after they return from leave; I once had a PS employee who'd call in "sick" some mornings, forgetting that the phone at the office had call display - so I could note that they never called twice from the same number (different background voices every time were also suggestive).
