Happy Holidays from the Pirates' Log

From the Daily Telegraph-- "Santas across Sydney are rebelling against attempts to ban their traditional greeting of 'ho, ho, ho' in favour of 'ha, ha, ha'. Recruitment from Westaff - which supplies hundreds of Santas across the country- has told its trainees that the 'ho, ho, ho' phrase could frighten children and could even be derogatory to women. Two Santa hopefuls reportedly quit the course because of the hullabaloo of the ho, ho, ho. One would-be Santa has told The Daily Telegraph he was taught not to use "ho, ho, ho" because it was too close to the American slang for prostitute. He also quit."
