Reindeer Names Puns

"Well, let me see. There's Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, Rudolf, and ... and... There are only 9 reindeer mentioned in the song."

"Nope. There's 10. You forgot 'Olive'."

"'Olive'? There's not a reindeer named 'Olive'."

"Yes there is. '♫ Olive, the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names...♫'

She named the normal 8 plus Rudolf and was confused when I said she missed one.

I finally told her about Olive, the other Reindeer. The one that used to laugh and call him (Rudolf) names.

"What was the other reindeer's name?"

"Um, Dasher?"

No."

"Dancer?"

"No. Olive."

"Olive?"

"Yes! Olive, the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names."

I was very proud.

I was walking by with a jar of olives when he told me: "You know that was Santa's eighth reindeer, right?" Me:"Umm, Olive?" Him:"Yeah, you know the song! ..and olive the other reindeer laughed and called Rudolph names!"

Someone had written reindeer names on a whiteboard at work. I counted nine, then said that there was one missing. They went through, named them all off, and said no, they're all there.

So I said "You forgot about Olive. You know, 'Olive the other reindeer...'"

I was coming from the back with a load of bread when she stopped me and told me to put the bread down so I didn't drop it.

"Which reindeer do dinosaurs hate the most?"

I stopped for a moment and thought. It had been a long while since I've heard anyone mention Santa's reindeer by name.

"Comet."

"AWW! You're the first one who got it!"

This is when I realized that I spend too much time reading this subreddit. I lovehate you guys. Happy holidays!

Olive. You've heard the song. "Olive, the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names."

You know how the song goes.

"Olive, the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names..."

"You know, Olive? The other reindeer? She used to laugh and call him names."

Olive.

Because Olive, the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names.
