      New contractor that has joined us wears a Visual Studio tracksuit. Quite snazzy it is with the splashscreen emplazoned all over the front and I like the way all the API methods are printed down the sleeves - a bit like how a F1 driver has badges of various oil brands and tyre makes all over his outfit.

      Anyhow, as this contractor is our new scrum master, he's suggested we all invest in one as he wants to promote a more "sports team" like environment and have us all jump to it and get over to the whiteboard table at the prompt of "ok guys, timeout".

      Would this be allowable?
      A punch in the face usually does the trick in such circumstances, but follow up with a heavy kick in the wedding tackle region just to be sure. Shout "Timeout!" at a suitable moment so he is certain to get the message...
      His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...
