Sister Santa
Ho, ho, ho!
I am too Santa Claus, kid. Yeah, I'm a girl. Like duh-uh. – Because I need the money, OK? It's either you little germ-donors or cooking Christmas burgers at the local take-out.
Hey, but enough about me. What greedy little totally unreasonable demand do you want to make of the Great White Beard? – No, I didn't grow the beard. I'm a girl, OK? We don't as a general thing grow beards. Hey, look, would you rather have me or some red-eyed wino who's working off his last bottle of rotgut? Like liquor breath, do you? Well, then, work with me here, OK? I got midterms next week, plus a female problem you do not want to know about. So trust me, I am not in the mood.
What'll it be then? A molded plastic semi-automatic so you can imitate your favorite mad gunman? Some bloodthirsty boy-doll that crawls around on its belly, armed to the teeth? A little remote control tank you can send shooting through pedestrians' feet and scare the Pampers off frail old ladies? Come on, sweetie, you just tell Sister Santa here what violence and mayhem disguised as a toy will put your little testosterone-tainted heart all a flutter. Rat-a-tat-tat! Boom, boom, boom!
No, I do NOT have a problem with men! Where
