‘Twas the night before a non denominational winter holiday, when all through Comic Wonder, spiked eggnog was flowing and the laughter crashed like thunder.

A stocking full of joke submissions was being reviewed with care, in hopes that a weekly winner would be found in there. Many contained references about the man dressed in red, some about Jesus and his visitors who were now dead. No one was in a ‘kerchief or even a cap, our intern had too much nog and threw up in his lap. (His shoes had barf on them too.)

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, we rushed to the window and tried not to slip on the interns stomach batter.

The room was buzzing with our holiday bash, then the intern puked on the shutters and slurred “I had too much corn beef hash!”

We saw the moon on the breast of the new fallen-snow, the intern stumbled in the to yard and…well…you know. When what to our wondrous eyes should appear? An angry-looking police man confiscating the grain beer.

With a little old tazer, a gun and night stick, I knew in a moment he’d witness the intern get sick. We decided to put the intern to bed, “Papas fritas are french fries” was the last thing he said.

The Cops asked us to keep the noise down or we would go to jail. “Also, put than intern on his side and by his head, put a pail.”

Back to the party and the drinking of booze, the office gift was revealed to be a ball game called “foose.” We cheered the night away, celebrating a great year, and knowing that our Comic Wonder of the Week announcement was near.

All had a favorite, many had 3. The intern picked one but he was now passed out covered in pee. The punch was all gone and the cookies were now soggy, but one last toast was made and was directed at “Foggy.” His joke “Poor foggy at Christmas” was a big hit, when the whole party chuckled at the punchline we knew “that’s it!”

Congratulations to this weeks winner and to all of you, please excuse our intern and the repeated references of spew.

We truly do wish all of our Comic Wonder friends the very best this holiday, and if you have an intern at your office party keep the the beer away.

Merry non denominational winter holiday!
