This is exactly why they have the rule. He knew that it was the biggest no-no in the game. He thought he was above the rule. This is exactly why he should never be allowed in. He is a smug, bitter man and only finds fault in others. And to lie over and over again about something that people knew he was lying about only makes him a pretty stupid individual as well.
I would however love to see Petey and Barry on some kind of reality show where they had to share about a 100 sq. ft. studio apartment. Just the two of them. By episode three I think we'd be watching the coroners report being read for one of them.
