I'm surprised nobody posted the other one that shows up this time of year. It goes like this:
Santa was getting the sleigh, harness, and reindeer team all ready for Christmas delivery time but before the rig would get signed off for the flight, the FAA inspector had to go over it and Santa would need a checkride to get current. As Santa went inside to get his logbook and paperwork all in order for the inspector, the head elf snugged the last of the harness buckles as he worked his way aft to the sleigh, and then he watched as the inspector took right seat and cinched down his seatbelt. Suddenly his eyes got as big as saucers as he noticed the inspector tucking a shotgun down under the blanket that covered his legs for the open cockpit ride. Noticing the surprise on the elf's face, the inspector turned to the elf and winked as he whispered, "Santa doesn't know this yet, but he's going to lose an engine on takeoff..."
