Oh, I think I saw Bob eating it.

Bob?!

He's done bad things before...but stealing my sandwich?

I agree.

Especially a tuna sandwich.

Wait.

How did you know it was tuna, Dan?!

When someone's behavior is beyond the pale, they have gone past what is acceptable.

I think stealing and lying are beyond the pale, Dan.
