There were elves lined up on JFK Boulevard waving signs that said “Santa stop ahead!”  
Sure enough, he did, because there he was, with a bunch of NLR cops at a mobile control van, or whatever it’s called.  
I’m glad they finally caught the SOB. B&E, accosting kid’s Mommies, Peeping in windows, (He knows if you’ve been sleeping, he knows if you’re awake) and Child Abuse.  
Incarcerate the Fat Man in Durance Vile!

Sam Spade has the copy, but we don’t know when it was substituted.

Don’t ever prank Santa. A few years ago I found out that reindeer like beans so I left a bunch on my roof. His reindeer ate it all. Gave them bad gas too. If you thought you saw the Northern Lights over the Pacific Northwest a couple years ago, it was reindeer gas vapor.

Still have a pile of coal that Santa left me last year.
