Xmas is upon us and that brings to mind a joke:

Question: What's the difference between Tiger Woods and Santa Claus?

Answer: Even Santa stops at 3 hos.

With that notion cleared up, I was wondering if any of you had visions of sugar plum encrusted picture making gear on your list to Santa? Is there any gear-lust going on? And if so, what's the reason for it? Just curious.

No gear lust -- I'd really like it if Santa brought me a nice Seal Dry Mount press, though. I've got enough picture taking equipment to outlast me. And when I win the Lottery perhaps a purpose built darkroom and the 8x10 enlarger and camera to go there. Oh, a 20x24" camera for contact print negatives would also be nice. Until then I'll make do with 4x5" and shut my mouth.

Here's one TW joke back at you:

It is near the Christmas break of the school year. The students have turned in all their work and there
is really nothing more to do. All the children are restless and the teacher decides to have an early dismissal.

Teacher: "Whoever answers the questions I ask, first and correctly can leave early today."

Little Johnny says to himself "Good, I want to get outta here. I'm smart and will answer the question."

Teacher: "Who said 'Four Score and Seven Years Ago'?"

Before Johnny can open his mouth, Susie says, "Abraham Lincoln."

Teacher: "That's right Susie, you can go home."

Johnny is mad that Susie answered the question first.

Teacher: "Who said 'I Have a Dream'?"

Before Johnny can open his mouth, Mary says, "Martin Luther King."

Teacher: "That's right Mary, you can go."

Johnny is even madder than before.

Teacher: "Who said 'Ask not, what your country can do for you'?"

Before Johnny can open his mouth, Nancy says, "John F. Kennedy."

Teacher: "That's right Nancy , you may also leave."

Johnny is boiling mad that he has not been able to answer to any of the questions.

When the teacher turns her back Johnny says, "I wish these bitches would keep their mouths shut!"

The teacher turns around: "NOW WHO SAID THAT?"

Johnny: "TIGER WOODS. CAN I GO NOW?"
