Description: "TH TH TH TH TH THAT'S ALL FOLKS!""THAT'S IT", SAYS PORKY! "THE TRIPS ALL DONE." PORKY'S BEEN WHEELIN' WITH THIS BIG RIG ALL NIGHT NOW, AND FINALLY CLOCKED IN ON SATISFACTORY DELIVERY. IT WAS A LONG STRETCH FOR THIS OVERNIGHT HAUL WITH A CLEAN CARGO OF CARS, THOSE DIECAST TOYS FOR GIRLS AND BOYS. IT WAS TOUGH OVERNIGHT DUTY BUT HE LIKES MAKING PEOPLE HAPPY, MAKING A SPECIAL DELIVERY OF GOODS FOR CHRISTMAS. PORKY TOOK THIS ASSIGNMENT WHEN HE GOT PASSED OVER FOR ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY...YOU SEE, SOME TIME AGO, THIS JOLLY, LITTLE, HAM, PUT IN HIS APPLICATION FOR THE HEAD DELIVERY DRIVER POSITION AT THE NORTH POLE. WOW, THAT WAS AN AMBITIOUS GOAL YOU MIGHT THINK. WELL, THE FELLA HOLDING DOWN THE JOB WAS ABOUT TO RETIRE AND PORKY FELT HE COULD DO THE JOB JUST AS GOOD AS ANYBODY. BUGS, DAFFY, ELMER AND MOST OF HIS FRIENDS WERE NOT VERY OPTIMISTIC NOR SUPPORTIVE. THEY THOUGHT HE WAS A LOONIE TUNE, TO EVEN APPLY, CONSIDERING THE JOB DESCRIPTION, THE ODDS WERE STACKED AGAINST HIM.FIRST, HE DIDN'T FIT THE PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE GUY THE COMPANY WAS LOOKING TO REPLACE. HE WAS A MIGHT SMALLER AND THOUGH A BIT ROTUND AND PORTLY, WASN'T BIG ENOUGH TO FIT IN THE STANDARD ISSUE UNIFORM. WAS THAT REALLY FAIR, HE THOUGHT? WELL, THE COMPANY ALREADY HAD LITTLE GUYS LABORING IN THE WORKSHOP WHO WOULD HAVE TAKEN A PROMOTION WITHIN THE COMPANY, BUT NP, INC WANTED TO KEEP UP ITS IMAGE. IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT THE NEW DRIVER LOOKED SIMILAR IN SIZE AND DESCRIPTION TO OLD ONE. THERE WAS STRIKE ONE!NEXT, HE NEEDED TO HAVE A LITTLE ACTING EXPERIENCE AND A DEEP VOICE TO SAY "HO-HO-HO, MERRY CHRISTMAS" AND WAVE, SMILE, ACT HAPPY DURING HIS ONE NIGHT JOURNEYOVER THE LAND. HAVING WORKED IN TELEVISION IN HIS YOUNGER YEARS, THE ACTING PART WAS NO SWEAT, A BREEZE, HE HAD THAT DOWN PAT, BUT DURING THE INTERVIEW WHEN ASKED TO SAY: HO-HO-HO, IN THE VOICE TEST, PORKY'S ORATORY WAS NOT VERY SMOOTH: "H-H-H-HO, AH, H-H-HO, AH HO". HIS SPEECH WAS NOT UP TO PAR AS THAT OF HIS PREDECESSOR. PLUS, COULD THE WORLD LLLL-LISTEN TO THAT ALL NIGHT LONG? NOT GONNA CUT IT! STRIKE TWO! WELL, PETUNIA HAS NO PROBLEM WITH HOW HE SOUNDS. SHE QUITE LIKES THE WAY HE SWEET TALKS HER THAT WAY. SO, IS THAT REALLY FAIR?ANOTHER OF THE REQUIREMENTS WAS THAT HE NEEDED TO HAVE EXPERIENCE DRIVING A BIG, BIG, RED SLED. THERE IS NO STEERING WHEEL FOR THE SLED, NOR ENGINE, AS IT IS PULLED BY 8 FLYING REINDEER TO MAKE THE DELIVERIES. THERE ARE NO HEADLIGHTS ON THE SLED, WITH ONLY ONE DEER THAT HAS A GLOWING RED NOSE., THAT GLOWING NOSE WOULD BE THE ONLY LIGHT TO GUIDE HIM THROUGH THE DARK NIGHT. PORKY HAD DRIVEN BIG RIGS FOR YEARS BUT HIS LAST SLEIGH RIDE WAS DOWN A HILL WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF AIRBOURNE ANTELOPES. HE HAD NEVER DRIVEN A SLED LIKE THAT. HE NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN BUT WAS A QUICK STUDY AND CONFIDENT HE COULD MEET THE CHALLENGE. SO, WHEN THE TIME CAME, PORKY FIGURED HE COULD FAKE THROUGH THE TEST-DRIVING PART OF THE INTERVIEW, BUT WHEN THEY BROUGHT OUT THAT HUMONGOUSLY, HUGE, TWO TON, HEAVY BAG OF GIFTS AND PRESENTS IN WHICH THE DRIVER WAS REQUIRED TO CARRY ON HIS BACK AND TAKE DOWN THE CHIMNEY OF EACH DELIVERY, PORKY'S EYES GOT AS BIG AS SILVER DOLLARS. THAT PRUDENT PIG WAS OKAY WITH HAULING THINGS ON HIS RIG; HOWEVER, HE DECIDED HE WAS NOT GONNA CRACK THE SACROILIAC IN HIS BACK AND FINALLY REALIZED......"TH TH TH TH TH THAT'S ALL FOLKS!"
