Donner : A Barrel of Laughs – Blogfestivus Series

Oh Jeez! Blitzen’s gonna sit on the whoopee cushion! This is gonna be rich!

Is it so wrong to wanna have a little fun?  People need to lighten up!

Fat boy told me I’m on thin ice.  He threw my permanent record on his desk.  The file was as thick as a brick!  I’d forgotten about how meticiulous they were about write-ups.

“Take a look” he said.  “This folder goes back to 1973, I can get out earlier ones, but you get the idea.”

It looked like every one of my practical jokes for the last 40-odd years was accounted for.

Once, on the Island of Misfit Toys, I put Charlie-in-the-Box under an ice shelf.  That weasel popped out and clunked his head till he saw stars!  I might have gotten away with that, but I was trying so hard not to laugh that I left some yellow in the snow.

Another time, I slipped laxatives into the reindeer chow right before the big night.  Holy crap was that ever funny!  Duluth took the worst of it – no white Christmas that year!  The news media blamed it on jetliners, but we knew better.  I guess my constant giggling and being the only one without the Hershey squirts was damning evidence – that and my insistance on being in the front of the formation.

So now I’m on probation.

I stopped on my way back from Tubby’s office and took the smoke bombs out of the sleigh.  I may have to wait awhile before I’m able to use those.

Ladies and gentlemen!  I present to you, my fellow Blogfestivus writers.  Watch carefully as they perform death defying feats!  Just kidding, they’re mere mortal blog writers.
