And Santa gets 15-20.

A city councillor with a megaphone, at the tree-lighting part of our (small) city's Santa parade:

COUNCILLOR [JOLLY]: We're going to turn these lights on in just a minute, folks: First, here's Shelby! She's the lucky little girl who won the contest to go into the bushes with Santa and hunt for the Magic Button!

I've got my fist jammed in my mouth to keep from laughing. I've always thought that Santa would be a great gig for a perv ... didn't expect to be proven right. Jolly ol' elf, indeed ...

How long do you think it was before he realized what he said?

Gwen said...

Oh, no, no, no. That poor man -- he will never, ever live that down.

Do you know how long it's been since someone found my magic button? Now i know what to leave out for santa. I'm going to buy a pack of smokes for the afterglow.
