It is time for the . . . . . Finally Friday edition of the Humor Thread Paper. [:D] <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(Origin unknown) <br /> <br />'Twas the night before Christmas and Santa's a wreck, <br />How to live in a world that's politically correct? His <br />workers no longer would answer to "Elves," "Vertically <br />Challenged" they were calling themselves. And labor <br />conditions at the north pole Were alleged by the union <br />to stifle the soul. <br /> <br />Four reindeer had vanished, without much propriety, <br />Released to the wilds by the Humane Society. And equal <br />employment had made it quite clear That Santa had <br />better not use just reindeer. So Dancer and Donner, <br />Comet and Cupid, Were replaced with 4 pigs, and you <br />know that looked stupid! <br /> <br />The runners had been removed from his sleigh, The ruts <br />were termed dangerous by the EPA. And people had <br />started to call for the cops When they heard sled <br />noises on their rooftops. Second-hand smoke from his <br />pipe had his workers quite frightened. His fur-trimmed <br />red suit was called "Unenlightened." <br /> <br />And to show you the strangeness of life's ebbs and <br />flows, Rudolph was suing over unauthorized use of his <br />nose. And had gone on Dr. Phil, in front of the <br />nation, Demanding millions in over-due compensation. <br />So, half of the reindeer were gone; and his wife, Who <br />suddenly said she'd enough of this life, <br /> <br />Joined a self-help group, packed, and left in a whiz, <br />Demanding from now on her title was Ms. And as for the <br />gifts, why, he'd ne'er had a notion That making a <br />choice could cause so much commotion. Nothing of <br />leather, nothing of fur, Which meant nothing for him. <br />And nothing for her. <br /> <br />Nothing that might be construed to pollute. Nothing to <br />aim. Nothing to shoot. Nothing that clamored or made <br />lots of noise. Nothing for just girls. Or just for the <br />boys. Nothing that claimed to be gender specific. <br />Nothing that's war-like or non-pacific. <br /> <br />No candy or sweets, they were bad for the tooth. <br />Nothing that seemed to embellish a truth. And fairy <br />tales, while not yet forbidden, Were like Ken and <br />Barbie, better off hidden. For they raised the hackles <br />of those psychological Who claimed the only good gift <br />was one ecological. <br /> <br />No baseball, no football... someone could get hurt; <br />Besides, playing sports exposed kids to dirt. Dolls <br />were said to be sexist, and should be passe; And <br />Nintendo would rot your entire brain away. So Santa <br />just stood there, disheveled, perplexed; He just could <br />not figure out what to do next. <br /> <br />He tried to be merry, tried to be gay, But you've got <br />to be careful with that word today. His sack was quite <br />empty, limp to the ground; Nothing fully acceptable <br />was to be found. Something special was needed, a gift <br />that he might Give to all without angering the left or <br />the right. <br /> <br />A gift that would satisfy, with no indecision, Each <br />group of people, every religion; Every ethnicity, <br />every hue, Everyone, everywhere... even you. So here <br />is that gift, its price beyond worth... "May you and <br />your loved ones enjoy peace on earth." <br /> <br /> <br />
