Santa Claus Shot Down by SA-15 Missile over Northern Iran

Santa sled fireball

TEHRAN (Dec 24)-The Iranian News Agency is claiming that the Doshan Tapeh Air Base commander has reported one of it’s newly aquired Russian SA-15 anti-aircraft missile defense batteries engaged and shot down the Santa Claus reindeer propelled flying sled over Northern Iran today. The target was tracked on radar for 10 minutes before the order to fire was given by the regional air defense commander

Witnesses report seeing the SA-15 streak skyward erupting in a brilliant flash and then a giant fireball plummeting to the earth. The fireball was captured on film.

The smoldering wreckage was discovered in the mountainous region of Mazandaran Province, just south of the Caspian Sea.

The crash site had been looted by local village children leaving only scraps of colorful paper wraps and ribbon amid a large impact crater.

There were no signs of a survivor. Villagers reported a large pack of wolves carried off the reindeer remains.

A NORAD command spokesperson at Peterson Air Force Base answered “no comment” when asked if Santa had yet to appear on US radar. An unnamed senior radar specialist commented, “In all the years I’ve been doing this I’ve never seen Santa fail to show up on radar. I fear something dreadful has happened”.

Picture the scene a small Cafe with a few builders in for lunch.

You know the type.The big hairy grollia type the ones you never want to meet on a dark night. A nice lady serving behind the counter.Now normally you would hear a bit of banter between the guys and the girl behind the counter.But not to day as the guy was leaving he turned round to the girl and asked “will you be on facebook tonight?” Now soon i will be 40 am i getting past it. In my day I would ask to take a girl out.Maybe for a drink or the pictures ect. Has it now got to the stage where you pick up people on facebook then maybe take them on a date in Second life.

If so then you can forget it nothing beats a good date on the back row of the pictures on a Saturday night

I bet the seats in the picture house in Freeman  street could tell a few stories

It may be American but I believe it also applies to our lads as well

Many will be away from home over christmas and not just the boys and girls in the Army  but also the RAF and Navy as well  so come christmas day. Spend a moment of your time and spare a thought for them. Even if you dont support the war itself  at least support the lads and lasses.

The  sad fact many have died  and others will follow them.Its not good to be told your loved one  or a member of your family has died  but to be told over christmas must the the worst time at all as this is suppose to be a time of goodwill and peace on earth.

Maybe sometime soon my own son will be joining the RAF when he does sign up I hope the war is over.But I dont think it will.But I will give him my support and I will be proud of him  as I am anyway  as any Father is proud of their kids.
