Okay, a couple of fun things worth discussing:

A) In this story, we find out that some folks in Australia want their fake Santas to say “Ha ha ha” instead of “Ho ho ho” because…wait for it… “Ho” could be considered offensive and derogatory toward women.

Seriously? I mean… “Ha ha ha”? The idea that Santa’s “Ho ho ho” is offensive is ridiculous, but the idea of replacing it with “Ha Ha Ha” is possibly even MORE ridiculous! Is this what the world has come to? Please, God, bring back common sense. Santa is not shouting “Whore Whore Whore” anymore than he is shouting “Slut slut slut” or “Pay me for sex”. Santa is not shouting slurs, or slinging hip hop profanities, or summoning street walkers. It’s SANTA CLAUS. Next you’ll tell us that he can’t wear red, because it offends communists and bulls.

Maybe I’m wrong. I’d love to hear from any women who read this story. PLEASE, ladies, share your thoughts on this. If you saw Santa, and he jiggled his belly like a bowl full of jelly, smiled, laughed a hearty “Ho ho ho” and wished you a Merry Christmas…would you be upset that your morals and career choice were being questioned?

Sometimes this world amazes me.

B) And now, a story that needs less debate but should be read by everyone because it’s funny: A group of cows being transported by truck escaped their trailer and made a break for freedom… when the driver pulled into a McDonald’s restaurant!

*laughing*

I love this story! The comedy just writes itself. I mean, imagine the discussion that passed between the cows as they realized where they were!! It’s like a Far Side cartoon come to life! 🙂
