Belated Christmas Joke

Our deputy head told a joke in assembly today. He was doing a pseudo-scientific debunking of Santa (I have two boys in my class who are 13 this week and still believe in Santa), but finished up with: "Does Santa exist? - Of course he does. He's magic." Anyway, he showed a cartoon slide of Rudolph, and then asked if anyone knew the name of the reindeer that runs behind Rudolph. No? He's called Bruno. Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, Bruno the Brown-nosed Reindeer. He runs behind Rudolph, and he runs as fast as Rudolph, but he can't stop as quickly..."

(Staff doubled up and in tears, 80 special needs kids looking baffled.)

  1. Probably best that the kids remained "baffled." LOL.

  8. That's rich. If I told kids a joke like that here in supersensitive California, I'd probably get arrested for abuse. No shit.
