Here is a new story (at least new to me) that I heard in the Timing and Scoring tower during last weekend’s ARRC. Anyone who knows Santa Clyde may have already heard this and I apologize if this is old news. I just wanted to share it since there’s a real message at the end…
A long, long time ago in a land far away – in fact it was back during the last Century in the old Soviet bloc – there lived a man named Rudolph who was the head Communist of his village. Everyone just called him “Rudolph the Red” to keep things simple since his twin brother was called “Rudolph the White” because that’s what they called Czarist’s back then.
Anyway, Rudolph the Red got into a little argument with his wife one day as precipitation began to fall from the sky. “Look”, she said, “how beautiful the first snowfall of the Season looks.” "That’s not snow my dear; it’s rain” replied Rudolph the Red.
The exchange of retorts continued and escalated until Rudolph the Red actually became red in the face. Finally he exclaimed, “Rudolph the Red, knows rain, dear!”
And with that, the argument ended with a large sigh from all who heard this…yeah... and in T&S there were sighs, too!!!
So here’s the news that ties into this Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer story:
