Whats the funniest thing you've seen at the staff Christmas party?

Its probably the biggest weekend for the annual "lets get drunk at the bosses expense" night out. Whats the funniest thing you've seen at the staff Christmas party?

For me it was probably a colleague mistaking another one for a stool when the latter was sitting on his hunches. Oops!

A number of years ago, at a fine and noted pub in Dublin's city centre, the employees and subbies of the company I worked for were skulling pints to bate the band. One English chap (I'll call him Mick) put his arm around a subby from Donegal, both were well on at this stage.

"What I don't understand Joe", said the English fella, "is why we all can't get on together between England and Ireland. Sure we're all working class men"

Joe pulled himself back and his facial expression changed from being mildly intoxicated to being utterly indignant.

"Ya British bastard!" he roared out, and swung his arm and fist back to deck his colleague.

The Mick fella duked back, and Joe swung and fell, smashing a table under his not inconsiderable bulk, and crashed like a sack of spuds onto the floor.

"Get up, ya stupid cnut!" roared the boss, and lifted the Joe fella off the floor and pushed him up against a nearby wall for support.

"Yer barred!" shouted out the not very well informed barman at the boss.

We all fell around the gaff, laughing, and finished our drinks in peace.

The staff. Bunch of egotistical self obsessed gits who think they should be "appreciated" and congratulated for doing their work for which they get well paid. Insufferable fcuking arseholes.

I was at a christmas party where two staff members had a punch up, after one of them pissed on the other fella's guitar

A few crumbled up Ducolax in his/her/its dinner will provide all the entertainment necessary then.

Went outside for a fag. Jonny bouncer wouldn't let me back in as he said I was too drunk. Went across the road and drank til closing before heading to nightclub. As I was walking down to night bus, checked my phone. 35 odd missed calls from boss, colleagues, etc.
Laughed my head off as.I tapped the company credit card in my breast pocket.

One of our department falling asleep and resembling that scene in the Wolf of Wall Street where he's after taking the tablets and is unable to walk upright.

Probably a guy I worked with ending up in a punch up with my then boss. Every punch he gave was sweeter than the last.

I wonder what the average spend per head in companies is now for the Christmas party? Is it back to the crazy Celtic Tiger days?
