Santa's FAA check ride
One day Santa was surprised to find an FAA inspector showing up on his doorstep who insisted on giving Santa a checkride in his sleigh. Santa protested that he wasn't flying an airplane and wasn't governed by any of the FARs but the FAA inspector insisted he wouldn't be allowed to cross into US airspace without an approved checkride.
So Santa relented, strapped in his reindeer and prepared the sleigh for takeoff.
As he took his seat at the reins he noticed the FAA inspector sat down beside him with a shotgun. Somewhat alarmed Santa asked him why he carried a shotgun! The FAA inspector turned to Santa and, after a moment's hesitation, said
"Well, what the heck. I'm really not supposed to tell you this ahead of time
but you're going to lose one on takeoff!"

I am probably going to have to reread that. Maybe tomorrow I will get it.
