I used to work with a guy who used to be a mall Santa. He was fired for showing up drunk too many times and then became a Santa at a Christmas tree farm.
He smelled of bourbon and cigarettes every time I ever saw him; his teeth were dark brown and visibly decaying.
Man, he had some stories. They were all lies, but stories nonetheless.
Isn't this a character in Home Alone?
Heh, I forgot about that scene. Funny enough, I worked there around the same time that movie came out.
Our guy looked more like Marv and was way less coherent, but I suppose they didn't get the idea for the scene from nowhere :)
