* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: The ludicrously cumbersome system of punishments that Dwight has devised, and which he threatens Jim with, amounts to this. Three demerits earns you a citation, five citations earn a violation, four violations earn you a verbal warning, and an unspecified number of those earn a written warning, which if you get two earn you a disciplinary review, which ends up on the desk of Dwight's superior. Who is Jim. Basically, in order to be punished ''at all'', Jim would have to earn (120 * x) demerits, and even then he only ends up being reported to himself.
