The San Francisco Chronicle reports the dude made the mistake of breaking out some of his R-Rated humour on an uptight older broad and her hubby. After playing the jolly, pro-consumerism icon for over 20 years, the faux Santa was cold busted by the couple and afterward said:
"When I ask the older people who sit on my lap if they've been good and they say, 'Yes,' I say, 'Gee, that's too bad,' " Toomey said Monday. "Then, if they ask why Santa is so jolly, I joke that it's because I know where all the naughty boys and girls live."
Now, I'm all for a dirty joke and dick and fart jokes are really my bread and butter but the last part just begs to be taken as a pedophile joke which I ain't down with! I'm pretty sure it's not how he meant it but in a world where we now value feelings over truth-telling, you have to keep these kind of jokes to yo' self! Or at least restrict them to people you know aren't super-sensitive and lame! I don't fault the guy for cracking a joke and he did so in San Fran, which is a pretty hip and happening city (I mean come on, it's not like they were in the meth-infused bible-belt or something) but in a post-Imus, pro-woman world seems like this shit don't fly anymore anywhere.
