Pupils at a school in Sweden are being terrorised by a drunken elk (Like
reindeer, only smaller). Police say the animal has probably been eating fermented apples in a garden, reports Sky News.
Jan Caiman, a police officer in
Molndal, said, 'That could be the problem. We could be dealing with a boozy elk'.
Elk can weigh as much as 1,000 lb and personnel at the school described the erratic male as 'completely mad'. The
receptionist at the school, near Molndal, in the south of the country, told the Gothenburg Post, 'The children are really scared'. Police have contacted hunters and said that if the animal does not sober up and
calm down, it could be shot.
Santa Claus received a parking ticket from an official in Brooklyn.
Word has reached Will and Guy that a New York parking official has
penalised Santa Claus for a parking offence while delivering his presents to
needy children. Santa Claus [aka Chip Cafiero, a retired schoolteacher]
received the $115 USD ticket in Brooklyn. Apparently he shouted to the
official, 'Ho! Ho! Ho!' but he was completely ignored.
Santa claims that his horse-drawn carriage and a SUV carrying the toys
was not causing an obstruction. We are not able to raise a comment
from the police but a local politician has said the parking ticket is
'ridiculous.'

It was the day after Christmas at St Peter and St Paul's church in
Borden, Kent, England. Father John, the vicar, was looking at the nativity
scene outside when he noticed the baby Jesus was missing from the figures.
Immediately, Father John's thoughts turned to calling in the local
policeman but as he was about to do so, he saw little Nathan with a red
wagon, and in the wagon was the figure of the little infant, Jesus.
Father John approached Nathan and asked him, 'Well, Nathan, where did you
get the little infant?'
Nathan looked up, smiled and replied, 'I took him from the church.'
'And why did you take him?'
With a sheepish grin, Nathan said, 'Well, Father John, about a week
before Christmas I prayed to Lord Jesus. I told him if he would bring me a
red wagon for Christmas, I would give him a ride around the block in it.'

Home alone one Christmas, a Maine woman was in the doghouse when she
called the "Butterball Turkey Talk-Line".
Apparently found Will and Guy, while preparing the turkey, her Chihuahua
jumped into the bird's body cavity and couldn't get out. She tried pulling
the dog and shaking the bird, but nothing worked. She and the dog became
more and more distraught.
After calming the woman down, the Talk-Line home economist suggested
carefully cutting the opening in the cavity of the turkey wider.
It worked and Maxwell was free. Too silly to make up say Will and Guy.
Mary-Jo was going to the Christmas office party but needed a new dress.
So she went out shopping and in the clothing store she asked the assistant, 'May I try on that
dress in the window, please?'
'Certainly not, madam,' responded the salesgirl, 'You'll have to use the fitting room like everyone else.'
Will and Guy are building a collection of 'Right Christmas Presents' and 'Wrong
Presents'. Here are examples.
Crazy 8 Ball - Right Present
This looks like like a normal Pool ball but it has one difference, namely
a bias which makes it wobble and go in all directions, except the one
intended. Just watch the amazement on your opponents face, as after
you have discretely substituted the 8 Ball, he tries his pot!

'Twas the day after Christmas and all through the house Children sat
slack-jawed, bored on the couch.
Wrappings and toys littered the floor, An incredible mess that I did
abhor.
With Mom in her robe and I in my jeans, We waded in to get the place
clean.
When suddenly the doorbell: it started to clatter, I sprang to the
Security-View to check out the matter.
The new-fallen snow, now blackened with soot, Was trampled and icy
and treacherous to foot.
But suddenly in view, did I gasp and pant: An unhappy bill collector
and eight tiny accountants.
The door flew open and in they came, Stern-looking men with bills in
my name.
On Discover, on Visa, on American Express, On Mastercard too, I sadly
confess, Right to my limits, then beyond my net worth, Over the top
I had charged, in a frenzy of mirth.
The black-suited men, so somber, so strict, I wondered why me that
they had first picked.
They stared at me with a look I couldn't miss, That said "Buddy, when
are you for paying for this?"
I shrugged my shoulders, but then I grew bolder, Went to the cabinet
and pulled out a folder.
"As you can see," I said with a smile, "It's bankruptcy that I'll
have to file!" And with a swoop of my arm, my middle digit extended
I threw the bills in the fire: the matter had ended.
The scent of burnt ash came to my nose, As up the chimney my
credit-worthiness rose.
Without another word they turned and walked out, Got into their
limos, but one gave a shout: "You may think that's the answer to all of
your fears, But it's nothing you'll charge for at least seven years!
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; the stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
