Reindeer injuries
« 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.

White beard and red face more likely.

Reindeer have decades of oppression to revenge.

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

Good morning Sir Nick.

How's The Boy this morning ~ any signs of antler growth, shiny red nose, inclination to eat carrots?
