A different Christmas tale


Guest at the Montbrillant Hotel: Operator, help. There’s a dirty old man peeking in my window.

Concierge: Hello, Geneva police. We have a potential break in at the Montbrillant or at best a peeping tom.
(Sirens. Police car pulls up on the side walk. Policeman 1 shades his eyes to see a man in a red suit hanging from a window.)
Policeman 2: Hey you.”

Man in Red Suit: Me?

Policeman 2: Ya you. Get down.
(Man in red suit drops to roof where there is sleigh with reindeer.)

Man in Red Suit. Not again. (he pats a reindeer) Look, all I was doing was bringing presents to good little girls and boys. This hotel doesn't have a chimney.

Policeman 1: (Examines the contents of the sleigh. He has to jump aside when one of the reindeer gives a kick). Hey watch out. (He opens a package. It is filled with towels marked with the hotel logo. Another package is jewellery.) What about this?

Man in Red Suit: It’s for the hotel. It’s their Christmas present.
Policeman 2: Then how come they’re dirty?

(Policeman 1 continues to empty boxes with jewellery, wallets, a couple of fur coats with people’s names in them.

Man in Red Suit: Goodness, gracious me, I must speak to my elves.

Policeman 2: Tell you what, you can call them from the station.

(They handcuff him and pull him away.)

Donder Reindeer: I told him it wouldn’t work, but would he listen. Oh No.
