An old joke, but it made me laugh.

All about the chap at the post office whose task is to open all the letters to Santa. Usually they are from children, but one was from a 70-year-old widow who tells Santa she has a £100 electricity bill to pay by Friday otherwise she will spend Christmas with the power cut off.

Next week another letter arrives from the old widow which states: "Thank you Santa for the money, but it was a tenner short. Bet it was those thieving bastards down at the post office."
