joke time

For some reason it made me think of a famous dept. store Santa back in SC. His day job was as the county coroner. He took a few weeks off every year to be Santa...and he was a good one - the hair and beard were real. I always thought that was a great way to try to wipe out the year's icky stuff.

I have to admit being a little unnerved when he came into the bar where I worked to hang out. I had pictures of my kids sitting on his lap. 'Course he had enough class not to be slamming 'em back in his Santa suit but that hair and beard were hard to hide.
