    None of this bothers me. What bothers me is that we teach kids to watch for Rudolph's nose on Christmas eve.

    He flew once. "ONE foggy Christmas eve" One. O-n-e. He is not flying around tonight.

    I'm sure that's what Santa was thinking when he asked but then he discovered that demoting a minority employee is a very good way to get sued. So, now Rudolph is there every year even when it's not foggy.

    Or, Santa realized that having "Plan B" was a smart risk management move since Christmas only happens once/year. Having Rudolph is part of the cost of doing business.

    BTW, has anyone seen the Morgan & Morgan sign near the North Pole? Suddenly, elves are getting injured at work at an alarming rate and chiropractors are flocking there.

    It's all good. Reindeer everywhere are complaining now because Rudolph isn't "giving back" enough.

    I think this is correct. It's about being accepting of people who are different because we all have something that makes us special.

    Small correction. It's a story about a half white human half fish girl....

    The alt version has her being half black girl, half fish....

    That's just nuts right there.

    Fish meat is white. :cool:

    To Tilly’s post about Rudolph flying *one* night, I am watching Miracle On 34th Street (1947), and his employment card listed eight reindeer - no Rudolph - as Kris’ next of kin. I can only assume that Rudolph hit the transfer portal or had some disciplinary problems.

    Yes!

    And to make it truly too hot…

    There are many that think it is okay to kill a child in the womb because they have one less or one extra chromosome and will not be normal. But those Children are beyond special and valuable to this amazing world. Sadly they are an inconvenience to some.
