*Episode: “Garden Party”

When Jim hears that Dwight is hosting a party at Schrute farms, he tells him he has to buy The Ultimate Guide To Throwing A Garden Party by James Trickington.

Episode: “Company Picnic”

When Michael takes a nap in his office, Jim, being the overachiever that he is, tricks him into thinking it is 5 o'clock so he can go home early. This one requires assistance from the entire office – even Dwight! (though he’s only helping because he has to be at a doctor’s appointment where his horse will be shot in the head).

Jim changes the time on his clock and computer, Pam changes the time on his watch, Dwight changes the clock in his car, and Erin makes sure to answer the phones quietly so as to not wake him up.
