I did not witness this particular incident, but my office
mate Light Bright told me she wished I had been there. It was noon, so all
sorts of people were around as she was leaving the cafeteria with a salad in
one hand and fork and napkins in the other. The passageway was so crowded that
she kept close to the wall, to stay out of the way of the bunches of people
wandering around. As she was taking a
step, her foot slipped on a little patch of something oily, and since her other
foot was already forward, she said, “I knew I was going down!” Instinctively
her body fell against the wall, so that instead of falling smack on her bum she
just slid down the wall. She managed to hang onto everything in her hands
during this little trip; as she said, “My brain remembered it was food!”
Everyone around her asked if she was okay, and she said yes. Then they looked
for the patch she slipped on, but nobody could find it. I said it must be
because her pants wiped it up, thus making the place safe for everyone else.

So did she have the oily butt for the rest of the day?
I didn't look.
