Pole

A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life.

~ William Arthur Ward

I wonder if Santa has north telephone poles.  And why aren't they called north poler bears?  I bet in high school Santa was on the track team as a north pole vaulter.

But I mock.  And I shouldn't.  My guess is that Santa Claus is engaged in a LOT of north polemics at this time of year.  He doesn't need any additional grief.
