George: “Oooow yes, the winter wonderland at Event City and you can even meet Santa Clause!”

Zippy: “Fantasticola. I can tell him one of my jokes.”

George: “Err, I’m not sure that’s a good idea, Zippy!”

Zippy: “Right, here it is. What do you get if you cross Father Christmas with a duck? A Christmas Quacker, ha ha ha!”

George: “Oh dear. I do hope they let us in!”
