It is Thursday, and that can only mean one thing.....another 'Off the Hook' edition of Smackdown!

Shelton Benjamin had been thinking about what Haas had told him. 'It's always been Jackie's dream to get married on Christmas Eve'. He had no choice but to talk to the boss himself.....

"Hi Shelton, what can I do for you?" Vince asked.
"Well, it's kinda about th party thingy, see"
"Argh yes, the Party!" Vince said hopefully "Always been a tradition, no doubt about it. Christmas Eve, a time to gather with our work mates and sociallise"
"That's just the thing"
"You're doing something in Shawn's thingy aren't you"
"Yeah"
"Well I can hardly wait! So what is it you want to know?" Vince asked while reading through the script for that evening.
Shelton stood there for a few moments. Hesitantly, he said "Nothing"
"Well have a good match tonight!" Vince responded, before catching up with his daughter Stephanie.

Meanwhile, HHH was searching for Randy Orton. He finds Orton's best friend John Cena and spoke to him.....

"Hey John, have you seen Randy at all"
"No but he rang Vince to tell him he wasn't coming in today. Why"
"Ummm just needed to talk to him thats all. Thanks anyway"
"My pleasure!"

Shelton decides a different approach by talking to Charlie.....

"Hey Chaz, look man there's something I need to talk to you about"
"Did you speak to Vince"
"Yeah"
"So what did he say"
"He said, .....he said that it was a tradition to have it on the 24th"
"Dammit!" Cried Haas.
"Can't you and Jackie get married next year"
"That's too long away"
"I can't think of anything else though"
"Neither can I. What the hell are we to do"
"Have you spoken to her about it yet"
"No, but"
"But what"
"Give me time, yeah"
"If I must!"

Steve Austin approaches Vince with a topic close to his heart.....

"Vinney Mac, who's providing the drinks"
"Ummm you can if you want"
"What should I order"
"Whatever you want"
"What? What? What? WHAT"
After sighing, Vince told him that he would leave it to Steve's judgement.
"Just don't make it all beer ok"
"Whatever"
"Steve. Don't forget the Whisky"
"I won't!"

What will Jackie's reaction be to Charlie's alternative? What will Austin order? More to come soon.....
