    That's an old picture. I'm wearing the black vest today. This is helpful, though. I didn't know that the speaker thing made me look like I had man hands.

    Have you 1) tried talking to him about not putting his conversations on speaker phone or 2) asked your supervisor (or his) to intervene?

    But then I wouldn't have amusing stories to post here.

    Sure you would. There could be the, "then mind your own business" responses he'd give you or the screaming he'd do to his boss after she put the kibosh on his using the speaker phone for stuff it wasn't intended.

    I have to think his shit is reducing your productivity.

    Find out what gym the wife goes to.
    Then drop into a conversation "A friend of mine goes to your wife's gym and told me there's a rumor going around about a woman whose cheap husband bought a TV set at Sears and only has X in checking is having an affair with one of the trainers"
    Then when he calls the wife on speakerphone to confront her about it, walk over to his desk and shout out "just kidding - I said it to teach you a lesson about discussing personal matters over the phone"

    OR

    Next time he's on speakerphone go over to his desk/office and shout out "Hey (co-worker's name) what are you doing on the phone? We have to get rid of this dead body before the police arrive"
