In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded

In an old job of mine, me and colleague would often take every opportunity to try and get one over on each other, in a jokey way. We moved office one time, and in the new office we discovered this manky old jacket that had been left behind by the old occupiers. It was horrible, covered in stains and such. So I would frequently try and stuff into my colleagues bag during the afternoon so he’d take it home with him. He’d come in the next day annoyed and invariably try and get me back. But he'd put it in my bag in the morning, so I’d have all day to discover it. He was terrible at it.
Anyway, after months of this, both of us were so wary of each other it was becoming difficult to play the joke any more. One afternoon, just before we were leaving, he gets up to go to the toilet and takes his bag with him. So instead, I put the jacket on, went over to his chair and picked up his coat. I put his coat on over the top of the jacket, so I was wearing both, and carefully took them both off and put them back on his chair. At the end of the day he picks up is coat and puts it on oblivious to the fact the jacket is inside it. The next day he came in with a face like thunder and grumbling. I asked him, “ when did you realise you were wearing two coats. He said, “When I took my coat off and I was still wearing a coat”.
