What an idiot. The solution he should have pursued is obvious. He should have videotaped them.
Actually, I'm now reminded of a humor quiz Playboy published back in the 1980s to determine if the reader was a 50s, 60s, 70s, or 80s kind of guy. And, being the early 1980s, the 80s guy was more punk/burnout than other stereotypes that emerged later in the decade. There was a particular pair of questions that I always chuckled at:
You come home and catch your wife in bed with another man. What do you do?
A) Shoot him
B) Join them
C) Call my analyst
D) Blackmail him
You come home and catch your wife in bed with another woman. What do you do?
A) Shoot myself
B) Join them
C) Call her analyst
D) Videotape them
It should be pretty clear which answer was aimed at which decade.
