Tis the season for instilling camaraderie under the guise of time-wasting, inane work "parties". I was dreading my such party for weeks but it ended up being much better than I imagined.

Two weeks ago the alpha-male-wannabe "bros" at my employment decided to host a scotch tasting during the XMas party. I overheard their juvenile excitement and ignored them until I heard them rave about the incredible aspects that a single drop of water in a glass of scotch.

I informed them that they could not possibly detect 1/20 mL of water in a glass of scotch and it was a placebo effect, the hallmark of a suggestible individual. They naturally rebuked the truth and embraced their ignorance while managing to sneak in some passive aggressive, thinly-veiled immature insults.

I decided to prove them all wrong while humiliating them in front of their peers and overlords. I purchased a bottle of Macallan scotch and poured the same volume in 12 glasses. I added 1 drop of water to 4 glasses and 1 mL of water to another 4 glasses. When I arrived late to the party with the tray of scotch and announced my intentions I could see that they were visibly uncomfortable.

The results? Completely random, those fools had absolutely no idea what had water and what did not. It was the only enjoyable XMas party I have ever partaken in, mostly because I destroyed ignorance (my pet peeve) but also because I thoroughly humiliated those morons who think the current media-friendly brand of pseudo-camaraderie that excludes other office workers equates to enriching friendship. What was your best XMas party?
