    Cool Best Xmas decorations ever

    Think of this when you want to do something different for xmas decoration
    just don't do it unless you want the consequences
    John







    Be sure to read the caption under the picture!






    “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.”

    He fixed it while I was logging on.

    Here's a lower-resolution version. (I got this from Gil Jones a day or so back, and just reduced it).

    [And here's the full text:

    Well, there is good news and bad news about my Christmas decorations.

    The good news is that I truly outdid myself this year. The bad news is that I had to take them down after only 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 ladder and 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). 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 I made him too real this time . But it was fun while it lasted. ]

    Cheers,

    Here's a card I sent out a few years ago. I didn't record who all I'd sent it to, so I'm reluctant to send the rest of them.

    Cheers,
    Joe

    That fake man thing is great! My first reaction - before reading the caption - was that the gutter wouldn't hold up like that...

    Very cool

    Cheers,
