I received this via e-mail from my buddy Joe earlier:
Greg, a do-it-yourselfer, sent the above picture with the following story:
“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 2 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 it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of 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.”

I think this is pure genius. I so want to do this, and since we live in a cul-de-sac, I don’t anticipate much traffic so there wouldn’t be an issue. I wonder if I can talk Mr. W into letting me set this up.
LOL…GENIUS! ABSOLUTE GENIUS!! This is one of those classic “Why didn’t I think of that?” moments. 😀
oh, TOTALLY. I think you should hang representatives of your entire family on your house. Plus an honorary spot for Claudio.
You are easily amused.
it’s necessary for survival as an only child, and again when you’re around people who aren’t as entertaining, be it due to dullness, lack of imagination, old age, prissiness, overseriousness, or any combination of the former.
I’m still laughing.
Maybe you can spell out OOPS next to the body so people won’t call the cops, or go the extra mile and put to other mannequines on the ground underneath with a sheet like they are trying to catch him.
