Abusing freebiesA friend of mine recently attended a 'Champaign Lunch', where he was compelled drink as much fizzy stuff as he could between the first and last courses. In an ideal world we'd ask restaurant staff to tell us stories about fatties stuffing themselves at All You Can Eat places, but we recognise that our members don't all work in the catering trade, so for the rest of you - tell us something about abusing freebies. BTW: Bee puns = you fail.

Works xmas partyI once worked for a company that was very generous with the xmas freebies. One christmas a few years ago we were treated to a posh slap up meal at one of cambridge's nicer restaurants. On the table were a bottle of white and a bottle of red. There were six of us on the table.
Once we had finished the wine, I put the empty bottles on a little shelf behind me. As if by magic, a waitress appeared and asked if we wanted any more. "Is it free?" we asked. She replied that all booze was free for our company.
Oh dear.
Over the course of the next 2 hours we drank 24 bottles of wine, a bottle of port and a bottle of brandy. Which isn't bad going for a group of 6. Needless to say, the company directors (not to mention the owners of the previously respectable establishment) weren't all that pleased with our conduct for the remainder of the day...
The best bit was, the following year an email was sent round to the effect of "due to the behaviour of a select few at last years party, there will not be a free bar at this year's party". We felt genuine shame, and felt bad that we had spoilt it for everyone. Until it was revealed that although the bar wasn't free, the wine brought to the table would be...
Did they not read the damage sheet from the previous year..?
