Young Santa as Hotel staff

A hotel manager was giving some advice to his staff about how to cope with embarrassing circumstances.

Suppose one of you enters a room,” he explains, “and finds a lady in a state of undress. Anything you do or say could make matters worse, but there is a simple way out. Just pretend you are short-sighted and say something like, ‘I'm terribly sorry, sir, I'll come back in a minute.’ That will save her from embarrassment.”

The next morning a young Santa was on duty taking breakfast up to a room. He knocks on the bedroom door and receiving no answer, walks in. There on the bed, a couple were indulging in intimate moments. Suddenly, they sensed the waiter's presence and there was a ghastly silence until the Santa remembers the lecture of the day before.

With complete confidence he asks, “Would either of you gentlemen like to have breakfast?”
