Christmas decoration fail
Look at this photo carefully. Very carefully. Let’s say you were driving by this house and saw a man clinging for his life as he held onto his rooftop because his ladder had fallen to the ground. Let’s also say that you tried to rescue said man only to find that…he’s a dummy.
Gotcha! Merry Christmas.
A zealous Christmas decorator caused a storm of trouble with his decorations after police and passersby thought a dummy that was left clinging to a roof with a ladder on the ground below, was a real human struggling for help.
The homeowner describes what happened:
“Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after two days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down.
First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.
Second, a 55-year-old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn’t realize that it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of the many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn’t take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.
