The Christmas Party Speech

The organising committee had seven members, three WhatsApp groups and nine months. They booked the Zunfthaus, forgot the microphone, and wrote the speech in a shared document that contains the word "Dankeschön" and four comments from Urs. The Apéro has been running since 18:00. At 19:40 someone hands you a glass and a fork to tap it with.

A black field polo for the man who finds the microphone, gives the speech and opens the buffet, in that order. Collar stays keep the collar upright through four sentences and a standing ovation. The top button of the three-button placket stays open, because it's a party and you're done. The chest pocket holds the speech: a beer mat with four lines, one of them thanking the people who did the Büez.
