Newspaper Sorry for Naughty Santa Jokes
http://www.baytownsun.com/wire.lasso?report=/dynamic/stories/C/CHRISTMAS_JOKES?SITE=TXBAY&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT


LOUISA, Ky. (AP) -- A weekly newspaper in eastern Kentucky has apologized for mistakenly printing sexually explicit Christmas jokes that left some blushing readers as red as Santa's suit.

The Lawrence County Storm also retrieved unsold copies of this week's edition from newsstands in and around Louisa, where it is published. Louisa Mayor Teddy Preston said he received phone calls from constituents who were angered and embarrassed by the jokes.

"It was very, very vulgar," Preston said. "It is something that shouldn't have been written in a local newspaper or anywhere else for that matter."


Some of the jokes were simply corny, but others put Santa in sexual situations, or made light of the religious side of Christmas. McCoy told the TV station that someone on the staff had been reading the jokes on the Internet and that they had inadvertently made their way into the newspaper.

2. What's the joke, something about Santa coming only once a year?
Reading the jokes on the Internet and inadvertently made their way into the newspaper. :P

Do you know why Santa is so jolly?
He knows where all the naughty girls live.
