Humor only an instrument pilot could love

Something about an instrument approach into the North Pole.

An NDB/GPS-A approach.  I guess Santa's Sleigh isn't equipped with WAAS GPS for LNAV/VNAV or LPV approaches.  A nice long 6000 foot runway---I guess the take off performance of a sleigh piled high with loot, pulled by 9 reindeer just isn't that great.  And at the North Pole, all runways are 36.  (Wait, does Santa live at the actual North Pole or the magnetic one???)
