Reindeer Games «

Well, I've certainly been having pun fun on Day 2 of Crackers In Need and a few of you have also been hard at work casting jokes in the pun furnace.

Here are the best of my reindeer-related cracker jokes:

Why was Santa a reindeer short at Christmas?

Because Rudolf went out on the piss, then staggered home and ate Donner.

How do you make a reindeer's eyes water and his ears ring?

Kick him in the bells.

Why does Santa always take his stable boy to the off licence with him?

Because he's good to caribous.

I also came up with this one, which didn't make the final three, and is in slightly poor taste, but I include for variety:

What's the difference between Rudolf the Reindeer and Jack The Ripper?

One pulls his sleigh and the other slays his pulls.

I was also pleased to get some in from Man Writes Blog readers, including this rather brilliant one from Mark D. in London:

Why did Santa let his communist friend hand-pick his sleigh-pulling team?

Because Rudolph The Red knows reindeer.

And this exquisitely contrived one from Richard W. in Manchester:

What is the name of Santa's friend, who's an expired, soaked, narcissistic earl?

Rudolph the dead hosed vain peer.

Lest we forget the true meaning of Christmas, tomorrow's theme is the nativity.

That's right: shepherds, wise men, ickle baby Jesuses, insufficient accommodation at the inn, etc. etc.
