Jane behaving badly
Dear Ms Tipple, Your behaviour last night at the office millennium party was appalling. Within an hour of arriving, you were singing bawdy songs and shouting obscenities at your colleagues. Then, minutes later, you began to disrobe. As if that weren't bad enough, you astonished us all when you attempted to kiss the Chairman, Mr Monk. He can be considered lucky, however, that he was out of range when, soon after, you began to vomit. Ms Stern from accounts cannot count herself so lucky. I can tell you, we were all much relieved when you passed out and were removed to the hospital for observation. Can you please explain how this happened? John Temperance, Managing Director
