THE OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY

On Thursday, December 15, 2005, I attended my Parole Board Office Christmas Party. We had a grand old time. My contribution to the event was thirty-five pounds of Italian Chitterlings.  

I know that I had written in an earlier article that I had given up on taking chitterlings to my office, but I couldn’t resist. I wanted everyone to taste my Italian Chitterlings. One of my co-workers asked me “what made them Italian?” Did they come from Italian hogs? My response was “the rosemary seasoning made them Italian.” They were finger licking good. 

My boss, Mr. Sidney T. Williams gave the blessing and then proceeded to tell everyone that the chitterlings were on “LOCK DOWN” (They were in an adjoining room because of the smell.) When the Christmas Party ended there weren’t any chitterlings left. One of my white co-workers was fanning her nose throughout the event proclaiming that she was about to die. We all had a ball! Cultural diversity at its best! 

Well the frying pan that I threw out the window a few months ago has found its way home. I am frying chicken and pork chops like a crazy man. Debra is constantly telling everyone to eat healthier. I’ve decided to wait until the New Year and try again to succeed at eating healthier. Until then, does anyone have any pig ears cooked? 

I hope that you will all have a very Merry Christmas!

In the words of my dad, “If you don’t have money at least have class!
