Hooker! Hooker! Hooker!

Posted on November 15, 2007 By admin 2 Comments on Hooker! Hooker! Hooker!

He is an unlikely revolutionary but this Christmas, Santa is a rebel with a claus. He is having the last laugh on political correctness – and it's a great big fat belly laugh. Santas across Sydney are rebelling against attempts to ban their traditional greeting of “ho, ho, ho” in favour of “ha, ha, ha”.

Recruitment firm Westaff – which supplies hundreds of Santas across the country – has told its trainees that the “ho ho ho” phrase could frighten children and could even be derogatory to women.

One would-be Santa has told The Daily Telegraph he was taught not to use “ho, ho, ho” because it was too close to the American slang for prostitute. He quit.

    Christmas only comes once a year, kiddies. The rest of the time, Santa has to do something to earn his keep. If he wants to be a pimp, who are we to judge?

Quote of the day

As castles went, this one looked as though it could be taken by a small squad of not very efficient soldiers. For defence, putting a blanket over your head might be marginally safer.
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
