Joke of the week

In the spirit of the Holiday season and the impending end of the semester, I found the following "Truth about Reindeer" while procrastinating hard on my sociology of fear and risk paper...

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December. Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring. Therefore, according to every historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, every single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen - had to be a girl. We should've known.

Only women, while pregnant, would be able to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.
