Title: Reindeer injuries
Post by: Nick on November 24, 2007, 12:26:29 PM
Santa came a  visiting at the local Garden Centre. Real reindeer. Big antlers.

They put the reindeer in an enclosure for closer inspection. Reindeer got a bit stir crazy.

After the incident we thought it best to get to A&E. Not stitches, but possibly a tetanus shot.

"HOw did this happen?", she said.

"He was attacked by a reindeer," we said.

The pause seemed to go on forever. Then she wrote it down. "Reindeer attack".

He has had the injection and we have been told to watch for "any unusual symptoms".

Such things happen.

They were long antlers -they protruded from the enclosure.

OK?

And you let The Boy get too close  with utterly predictable results ?
One word to the social and you will never see him again !

Would have thought his tetanus shots were always up to date, along with your rabies vacinations.

"unusual symptoms"? Did they give any examples, horns, cloven feet?

No dear ~ that's a hangover.

At our primary if yer kid is sick they 'phone to get you to collect it and insist that it stays at home until it has been vomit free for 48 hours. Of course the little sods can be relied on to tell the truth as soon as they get through the classroom door so you have no option but to comply.

Most teachers seem to have a built in vomit detector.  redface: My friend refused to let me in her car a few weeks ago because she said I was going to be sick. Thought it was a load of crap, got in a mood with her, 45 minutes later, vomit city.  sick2:

There is a limit to how much you can throw away at one go. It goes in drips and drabs. There was more serious criminal clothing that needed to be removed before I moved onto ties. And now well, it has vomit on it and my job has been done for me.  cloud9:

Out of interest, how close were you to the reindeer at the time. Its just members of the animal kingdom tend to have a more highly developed sense of danger so proximity to Captain Calamity could have scared te bejeezus out of it.

I took the pic. He was on the rails. The antlers kind of collided with him - at speed! spider:

Dear Ghoul,
Why do you suppose the jokes are being included about The Rank Organisation who, you may recall, used to announce their films with a sequence showing a man hitting a gong which made a BONG sound.
