One year at my office holiday party when I was still in the closet, I brought a female friend of mine who has rather large breasts. Well, one of my co-workers got a bit too drunk and not realizing that his whispering was actually quite audible says to this other guy "I'd love to titty-fuck her!" My date overheard this, got pissed, and then walked over to the guy and said loudly: "I doubt if your needle dick could get the job done!" Oh My God! There was stunned silence. The guy then apologized and his wife - who wasn't quite sure what was happening - got him out of there quickly.

How about this for an office party story? It happened a couple of years ago. I wanted to have a bit more fun at the party and went to the bathroom to snort some cocaine. I returned to the festivities and the first people I run into and start talking to are my boss and the director of personnel. Shortly after I join them I realize that they have concerned looks on their faces and then my boss abruptly walks away. Then the personnel director sternly whispers in my ear, "You need to go back into the bathroom, wipe away the white powdery substance that's around your nostrils, which I assume is coke, and then go home. Report to my office first thing on Monday morning!" I was so cold busted!

I have the worst story EVER! It was a department outing, so about 15 of us at this restaurant in their private party room. There was lots of alcohol consumed, and so as we are seated around the table about to eat dinner, our boss, with newfound liquid courage, decides to tell everyone that he's gay. We already knew that so it wasn't a big deal. But then he decides to tell us that he has HIV/AIDS. Now this is back in the late 1980s when such news usually meant death, so the mood immediately got somber and a few folks even start crying. But it got worse. After our boss sits his drunk ass down, the even drunker Assistant Department Manager stands up to let us know that she is about to retire because she has colon cancer. She starts crying and then everyone else who wasn't already crying starts crying. It was absolutely horrendous. Like I said, the worst holiday party EVER!

When I first started at this company at my first office holiday party, after several Martinis, some flirting, and then outright suggestive innuendo, I ended up in a conference room trading blow jobs with my boss's husband. And get this: we've done the same thing at each holiday party every year. What's this year, 2008? So this will be the 8th year. Apparently he's on the "down low" or something and my poor boss and their 3 children have no idea. I thought about telling her, but that's not my place. Besides, I kinda look forward to my yearly blow jobs with him.

I was the holiday party cliché one year. I got really drunk and basically I'm a bit obnoxious when I'm drunk. I vaguely remember - a friend filled me in later on some of the details - but apparently I grabbed the boobs of one girl and then overtly made a pass at a male co-worker while we were both standing at the urinal. Apparently I offered to suck his dick. Obviously this was back in my sexual ambiguity days. Then as a topper, I cussed my boss out: told him he was a son-of-a-bitch, and that I deserved a bigger raise than what he gave me. While I apologized to everyone the next day, my position was "restructured" soon thereafter, and not surprisingly, I was out of a job.

All I can say is be careful at an office holiday party when using the bathroom and asking a co-worker standing next to you at the urinal if you can suck his dick. And then actually doing it. Your boss might be sitting down on the toilet in a stall listening. Alcohol consumption can be a very dangerous.
