Meh. Wasn't even a real beard.

I've been in the tunnels under Disney. I can imagine a kid accidentally getting down there.

"Mommy! Why is Mickey's head in the corner?!"

This.

When I was little Santas had *real* beards as evidenced by their rage when my brother spit his gum into them as the picture was being taken.

Rappelling Santa is stupid. Stamford CT wastes a shiatload of money every year having Santa rappel down an office building with the general manager of the NY Yankees. Disgraceful.

I had a friend whose father fell off a ladder and caught his eyelid and ripped it off.

Now THAT'S traumatic.

Same thing happened to someone I knew. They used the skin from a circumcision to graft on a new eyelid. Now the guy walks around all cockeyed...

Santa lost his beard? I did not know he was gay in the first place.

TFA: Gardens Mall reports that the helper is a professional rope climber who did the stunt for free.

Professional *rope* climber? I think everyone who had high school gym is a professional rope climber (except the fatties).

Perhaps they mean *rock* climbing as there isn't much rappelling in rope climbing. And if that's the case I think I'll opt for someone else to be on belay lest he get his lip hung in the atc or something...

Well, the kids will have to learn sooner or late the truth that Santa, Jesus and the Easter Bunny are all fake.

The first mistake here on both parts was giving and receiving free services.

Would've been funnier if it were a real beard. Sorry, Diogenes. That's what I came to post, and dammit, I'm gonna.

Is this a joke I don't get?

If not... what exactly is a 'shiatload' in this case? I can only guess we have vastly different definitions of that term.

Diogenes: I had a friend whose father fell off a ladder and caught his eyelid and ripped it off. Now THAT'S traumatic.

The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas. Oh, God. It was so horrible. It was Christmas Eve. I was 9 years old. Me and Mom were decorating the tree, waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple hours went by. Dad wasn't home. So Mom called the office. No answer. Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. That's when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He'd been climbing down the chimney... his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus.

At least he didn't pull a "Blue Blazer". Now talk about something that would scar the kids for life.

There's something stuck up the chimney and I don't know what it is, but it's been there all (night/day/week/month/year) long...

I was actually afraid of clicking thinking just maybe it was a real beard. But I finally clicked and was relieved and disappointed all at once.
