If he screamed at you, you should propose to him that he find out how many steps it was to the parking lot - and then tell him to take them.

Usually, when a howler monkey brings up an argument based on an NBA rule, I tell him that when he coaches in the NBA, he can use their rules. Until then, he uses my rules.

Any back chatter - I send him to his cage without any bananas.

BTW - the NBA rule is to allow only 4 1/2 steps
