"Pulled Over"
A New York Police has pulled Santa over
to the curb, asking, "Why are you driving
on the highway when you are supposed
to be in air?"
Santa replied, "My Pilot Driver License
expired yesterday. Now you want to give
me a ticket for not wearing my seat belt?"

"Pre-Christmas Flight Check"
Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from
the Federal Aviation Administration, and the FAA
examiner arrived last week for the pre-Christmas
flight check.
In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and
bathe all the reindeer. Santa got his logbook out and
made sure all his paperwork was in order. He knew
they would examine all his equipment and truly put his
flying skills to the test.
The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He
checked the reindeer harnesses, the landing gear,
and even Rudolph's nose. He painstakingly reviewed
Santa's weight and balance calculations for sled's
enormous payload.
Finally, they were ready for the check ride. Santa got
in and fastened his seat belt and shoulder harness
and checked the compass. Then the examiner hopped
in carrying, to Santa's surprise, a shotgun.
"What's that for?!?" asked Santa incredulously.
The examiner winked and said, "I'm not supposed to
tell you this ahead of time," as he leaned over to
whisper in Santa's ear, "but you're going to lose an
engine on takeoff."
