Ho Ho Ho...

Thanks to LM  for sending me this one.  Let's put this in the "you have got to be kidding" file.

Sydney's Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say "ha ha ha" instead, the Daily Telegraph reported.

One disgruntled Santa told the newspaper a recruitment firm warned him not to use "ho ho ho" because it could frighten children and was too close to "ho", a US slang term for prostitute.

Might as well ditch the red suit too, it does make him look like a pimp.
