Watch Out For That Tree: 2004

One night we stopped by Chuckee Cheese to see what was going on. After greeting the children we watched one youngster playing a racing game on a screen. Santa thought he might like to try that. He put in a token. The sign said, "pick your car." He had to ask a boy how to do that. Then, whoa! Things got crazy. Stay on the road, Santa. "Watch out, Santa! Santa! Look out for that tree!" Game over. Santa sheepishly explained to the onlooking children that he had just gotten his driver's license for their town. He had to leave the reindeer up north to finish getting ready for the big day.

He said, "They put O O O O O O on my driver's license."
"Ah, Santa," I said. "Wouldn't that be more like Uh O Uh O Uh O?"
