Why?

You can't be attending to your work while otherwise occupied?

That activity is relatively normal between married
couples (!?). The misconduct is in "carrying on"
outside his marriage, whilst he's "in office" as
well as, reportedly, "in the office". That's what
Dribble doesn't agree with.

Is dribble still around? Don't seem to be getting his posts. Ah well. ;-)

If he's not "attending to his work while otherwise
occupied", then that could also apply to his other
activities - eating up all those pies, for instance.

Anything he does at work that isn't work related is fine by me - it should
take is mind off that part pee rubbish and further likely examples.

The Politics of Fooling Around

A little boy goes to his father and asks, "What is politics?"

Dad says, "Well, Son, let me try to explain it this way. "I'm the
breadwinner of the family, so let's call me Capitalism. Your Mom, she's
the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're
here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the People. The nanny
- we'll consider her the Working Class; and your baby brother, we'll
call him the Future. Now, think about that, and see if that makes sense."

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to
check on him.

He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy
goes to his parents room, and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting
to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he
peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives
up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I
understand the concept of politics now."

The father says, "Good, Son, tell me in your own words what you think
politics is all about."

The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working
Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and
the Future is in deep ****."
