Laughing Santa gets the old heave ho ho ho
Canberra, Australia - 05 December 2007

A Santa in an Australian department store said on Wednesday he has
been sacked for saying "ho ho ho" and singing Christmas songs to children.

Employment company Westaff, which supplies stores with red-robed,
white-bearded Father Christmases, had earlier asked its Santas to say
"ha ha ha" because the word "ho", which is American slang for whore,
could offend women, media reported.

In the latest incident, the Cairns Post newspaper said 70-year-old
John Oakes was sacked on Monday for saying "ho ho ho" and for singing
the Christmas song Jingle Bells.
