Some people have all the luck..
True Story...
Cars found in barn
>
> A New York man retired. He wanted to use his retirement money
>wisely, so it would last, and decided to buy a home and a few acres in
>Portugal.
>
> The modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15yrs.; the owner and
>wife both had died, and there were no heirs.
>
> The house was sold to pay taxes.
>
> There had been several lookers, but the large barn had steel
>doors, and they had been welded shut. Nobody wanted to go to the extra
>expense to see what was in the barn, and it wasn't complimentary to the
>property anyway......so, nobody made an offer on the place.
>
> The NY guy bought it at just over half of the property's worth,
>moved in and set about to tear in to the barn.......curiosity was killing
>him.
>
> So, he and his wife bought a generator, and a couple of
>grinders.......and cut thru the welds.
>
> What was in the barn...............?

Father Christmas isn't a hoax.
You can track him every Christmas Eve on the NASA website. So there!
He doesn't have to fit down chimneys either. That's why he has a Golliwog.
And before I get accused of making racist remarks.............a Golliwog is a white, european, male child. The black face is from the soot he gets
covered in, whilst climbing down (and back up) chimneys with the presents.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!
