For the very first time ever, Jim decided to make a dish to contribute to our office Xmas party. Jim’s most usual contribution to any office party is something easy like a 2-liter bottle of soda or just a cash donation.
Needless to say, we were all skeptical when he insisted that we’d be surprised when he showed up on party day with a homemade Taco Casserole.
Party day dawned and the unthinkable happened: Getting off the bus outside of work, Jim slipped on a patch of ice and down he went.
Down, also, went the Homemade Taco Casserole in the nice glass casserole dish.
Jim survived the incident with a tear in his pants and several minor scratches and abrasions.
We all agreed that next year he should just bring a 2-liter bottle of soda or maybe just donate some cash.
