Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the Civil Aviation Authority. It was shortly before Christmas when the CAA examiner arrived. In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and bathe all the reindeer.
Santa got his logbook out and made sure all his paperwork was in order.
The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He checked the reindeer harnesses, the landing skis, and Rudolph's nose. He painstakingly reviewed Santa's weight and balance calculations for the sled's enormous payload. Finally, they were ready for the checkride. Santa got in and fastened his seatbelt and shoulder harness and checked the compass.
Then, the examiner hopped in carrying, to Santa's surprise, a SHOTGUN.
"What's that for?" asked Santa incredulously. The examiner replied, "I'm not really supposed to tell you this, but we have to check out your skills in handling when problems arise, so you're gonna lose an engine on takeoff."
