Ready for takeoff ?

[kingpin]

Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the Federal Aviation Administration,
and the FAA examiner arrived for Santas pre-Christmas flight check.

In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sleigh and bathe all the reindeer.
Santa got out his logbook 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, even Rudolf's nose. He painstakingly reviewed Santa's weight and balance
calculations for the sleds enormous payload.

Finally, they were ready for the checkride.
Santa got in and fastened his seatbelt and shoulder harness and checked his compass.
Then the examiner hopped in carrying, to Santa's surprise, a shotgun.

"Whats 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 your gunna lose an engine on takeoff."
