Hazardous Caroling

First it was dodge ball, then it was tag. Now, a British shopping mall cancelled its annual children’s caroling event because it was deemed a health hazard, said The Daily Mail.

The Brownies and Girl Guides, they explained, “could obstruct fire escape routes.”

Mall management later admitted that because they had placed a 25-foot Christmas tree where the girls used to sing, they had caused the problem themselves.
