Email his work address at random times that his password was found to be insecure and that he needs to change it in N days or he'll be locked out. Using Mail::SMTP, you can spoof every single header, making it impossible to backtrace.
Do the above, but put a bunch of ^G's in. (A college coworker of mine did that to a friend who opened his email in the middle of a class. *grins*)

Do the above, but put a bunch of ^G's in. You could take this evil one step further and incorporate an Audible Code Separator in perl scripts - A search-and-replace of semi-colons with CTRL-G's in a script file with the single `BEGIN` block outlined in the above node could make for all sorts of fun in code review. `perl -le "print unpack'N', pack'B32', '00000000000000000000001011000010'"`	[reply] [d/l]
