Hobnobbing with the not-struggling and regionally well-known


Last night we had our staff Christmas party. It was pretty fun. Low-key, but fun. A delicious dinner, a couple of drinks, and presents.

Fred Penner (well known Canadian children's singer) was there and gave me a gift. That's right, I got a gift from a celebrity. Okay, so it wasn't necessarily intended for me, per se... We did one of those gift exchange games where when your name gets called you can choose a present from the pile, or steal a present from someone else. The gift I ended up with was from Fred. Yay!

It was odd, when introduced, my boss asked if I'd met Fred before - meaning, I'm sure, since working there. I said, no. At least not in the past two decades. Two decades!!! Probably longer. What, he doesn't remember me? At one point in the evening we had to tell a joke. Mine went over really well with my table, but I strategically told it when Fred was out of the room. However, it got such a laugh that my boss convinced - nay, COERCED - me to tell it again when Fred returned. So... here it is:

A pedophile and a little girl are walking through the woods. The little girl says "It's dark; I'm scared"
The pedophile says "You're scared? I have to walk home alone!"

Yep, that's right. I told a joke about a pedophile to our respected children's entertainer. Needless to say, it didn't quite provoke the uproarious laughter of the first telling. But they made me tell it!

Anyway, I can still say that I got a Christmas gift from Fred Penner. I know you're all jealous.

thats one of my favorite pedophile jokes. another joke of note...
a small is standing at the side of a cliff crying when a pedophile comes over to him.
\'whats wrong?\' inquires the mincing pedophile
\'i was playing catch with my dog and he ran off the cliff. could you get him for me?\' sobs the boy.
the pedophile begins to unip his pants and says
\'looks like this just isn\'t your day kid\'
 
i probably told it wrong but you get the gist. pedophiles like to have sex with children. fantastic holiday dinner talk!! keep it up.

Truthfully I think pedophiles are sick individuals that really need help (castration), but I do know one joke that\'s tastelessly funny:
What did the pedophile say when he got out of jail? "Feel like a kid again"
 
Yeah, I know that was bad. On a much lighter note, I actually came here to wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

I\'m changing the topic....
 
I\'ve gotten a present from Fred too. Remember, I was his kids\' nanny at one point. He\'s just as nice in person as on the show.

A little boy and a pedophile are walking in the deep, dark, woods. The little boy says,

"Mister, I\'m scared! These woods are really creepy."

The pedophile replies, "How do you think I feel? I have to walk back all by myself."
