7. I stopped believing in Santa
long before I stopped "believing" in Santa, if you catch my drift. As long as my parents were gullible enough, I decided to milk that old sucker for all it was worth.

6. Man, he's over Iraq now. Hope he's not taken down by a drone!
Hope he stays away from Somalia. I wouldn't want any pirates to nab him!

9. Let me get this straight. NORAD couldn't find three errant airliners in reality on 9-11-01, but
CAN pick up on its radar a non-existent Santa flying over the Middle East at this very moment.

14. I've thought for a long time how weird it is that parents will lie to their
kids about the 'jolly old elf' and then punish the same kids for lying to them about stuff.


Went to a local small mall with ms usnret88 yesterday. A mom was putting her two tots onto the mall santa's lap for a photo op. I nudged ms, and she quietly asked me not to say anything about strange men in disguises with kids on their laps. Please. Yes, dear.

17. Why do wives...
not allow us to have our fun? I never have to nudge my wife, in almost any situation she knows what I am about to do- she says she can just feel that I am about to say something crass :)

15. Lol wow that is stupid.......
I feel sorry for the kids whose parents force into them the idea of Santa, it's bad enough they are forced to accept religion. It's even more sad when they have to believe in both.
