One day, before Christmas, Santa was busy in his workshop at the north pole making toys. He answered a knock on the door and there stood a man in a suit with a briefcase that said "FAA" on the side. Hi, Santa, he said. I"m with the FAA and I'm here to help you comply with flying rules for your safety. I'm going to conduct a check ride so we can verify the airworthiness of your equipment, and test your proficiency to fly your sleigh safely around the world on Christmas eve night. Santa said, ok, how do we do that? The FAA inspector said, have your sleigh harnesed up and ready to fly at 9 tomorrow morning, and we will begin.
So, the next morning Santa was ready and the FAA inspector showed up right on time. He had his clipboard, and he hopped up into the sleigh carrying a 12 gauge shotgun. Santa was surprised, and said, what's that for? The inspector replied, well, Santa, I'm not supposed to tell you this, but you are going to experience an engine failure on takeoff!
