Offending Every Garden Tool

 Australian Santas can’t say “ho ho ho” anymore.

Sydney’s Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say “ha ha ha” instead, the Daily Telegraph reported.

This is more than a free speech issue.  It’s borderline thought police.  It someone may think that the word “ho” means “whore”, it can’t be said.  It reminds me of a few years ago when David Howard used the word “niggardly” and subsequently caused an uproar because some fool(s) didn’t know what it actually meant.

Luckily, we’re safe here in the USA.  Christmas may only come once a year, but we celebrate ho’s year-round.

HO

When I think of a Santa saying “Ha Ha Ha”, the image I get is of Dan Akroyd with a fish in his hand. Then, I get the image of Jamie Lee and all’s well in the world.
