An oldie, but a goodie (not really)
Just as Santa is finishing loading up his sleigh with pressies and doing the final checks on the reindeer, he notices a dubious looking character in a trench coat making a line for him across the tarmac.
The man presents Santa with his CASA i.d. and informs Father Christmas he is subject to a ramp check. So Santa, accommodating the inspectors every demand, presents his license, weight and balance, freight manifest and maintenance release. Keen for a Christmas Eve bust, the inspector goes through Santa’s paperwork with a fine tooth comb but, alas, all was in order.
The persistent inspector then informs Santa he intends to come along to conduct a check ride. Santa, looking at his watch, agreed and gestures for the inspector to come aboard the sleigh. Taking off his trench coat, the inspector reveals a double barrel shotgun.
“What’s with the shotgun?” a confused Santa asked.
“Well, I’m not supposed to tell you this ahead of time. But seeing as its Christmas, I’ll give you a heads up – you’re gonna lose an engine on takeoff”
(boom boom!)
