SYDNEY (AFP) - Santas in Australia's largest city have been told not to use
Father Christmas's traditional "ho ho ho" greeting because it may be
offensive to women, it was reported Thursday.

Sydney's Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say "ha ha ha"
instead, the Daily Telegraph reported.

It is assumed that the new greeting will offend everybody's sensitivities
equally, not just the prostitutes who want to sit on Santa's lap.

Q: Why did Santa plant three gardens?
A: So he could hoe, hoe, hoe!

Next thing will be that Santa can't go down the chimney anymore (or up it)

"He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake..."
Santa - kindly old elf, or CIA spook?

I'm thinking peeping tom or stalker, next Santa will be incarcerated.
