Christmas Bender. After the office closed down for Christmas the employees go on a right bender all afternoon. One man overdoes it a bit and decides to sleep off his drunkenness at a local hotel. At the reception desk, he takes care of the formalities and heads off to his room. Several minutes later, he staggers back to the reception desk and demands a different room. "But sir," says the clerk, "you have the best room in the hotel." "I insist on another room!!!" replies the drunk. "Very good, sir. I'll change you from 502 to 525. But would you mind telling me why you don't like 502?" asked the clerk. "Well, for one thing," said the drunk, "it's on fire."
