What Happened to Checking the List...Twice?

From Reuters, Via pastors.com newsletter:

Shopping mall Santas may not have an easy job after all. According to a survey, 90 percent of all seasonal Santas say that at least one kid pulls their beard every single day - just to see if it is real. The same survey showed that these Santas get sneezed on up to 10 times a day. A third of Santas report being wet on by a child. Nearly three quarters of the kids who sit on Santa's lap say they were 'good' this year, according to the Santas. Yet the survey shows Santa may be getting cynical. These Santas believe that only 50 percent of the before mentioned children were actually good during the year.

and "before mentioned" should be hyphenated, in case you're keeping track of editors needing coal in their stockings.
