Fred Gailey
All my life I've wondered something, and now's my chance to find out. I'm going to find the answer to a question that's puzzled the world for centuries. Does Santa Claus sleep with his whiskers outside or in?
Kris Kringle
Always sleep with them out. Cold air makes them grow.

Court Recognizes Santa Claus as Real
Fred Gailey
Your Honor, every one of these letters is addressed to Santa Claus. The Post Office has delivered them. Therefore the Post Office Department, a branch of the Federal Government, recognizes this man Kris Kringle to be the one and only Santa Claus.
Judge Henry X. Harper
Uh, since the United States Government declares this man to be Santa Claus, this court will not dispute it. Case dismissed.
