Deaf Elf: Here is an old vintage TTY we got from Gallaudet where I was a computer programmer before Santa hires me to set it up here to communicate with Deaf children around the world.
Smokey: Great what does Deaf children ask for?
Deaf Elf: We got an archive full of requests, here is a stach of them from St. John's School for the Deaf in Milwaukee fifty years ago.
Smokey: Let's read them:
1. Marty wants a chess set and that his brother Peter be given swim lessons.
2. Paul wants a baseball and a glove so he can play with his older brother Mark who is a shortstop in the Little League.
3, Greg wants a HO train set after visiting with a group hobbyists who set up a layout in a basement, he enclosed a clipping from the Sentinel.
4. Brady wants everything in the Sears catologue
5. Ryan wanted a basketball and a Game Boy, Mike Walter confiscated them.
Deaf Elk: Everyone got candy canes, we put them in Zerkel's office to distribue them.
Smokey: Your elves been busy, do they get time off.
Deaf Elk: They got weekends off, but actually been putting in a lot of overtime ever since Toys R Us went out of business.
Smokey: Does Santa ever makes mistakes.
Deaf Elk: He once gave a Deaf child in Florida a tobaggan, it doesn't snow there.
Smokey: Was there any problems on Christmas Eve?
