angry and likely winded 55 year old woman just doesn’t get the joke…

Okay, I am new to the blogging world and am working on several serious posts.  As I was doing said work I came across a tweet from a friend of mine, JR Briggs. I mentioned that I am new to the blogosphere because I am not sure that it is in the least bit cool that I am cutting and pasting his latest blog post — verbatim.  But hey, quite frankly, angry 55 year old women standing on 75 pound ladders make me laugh very, very hard.  So, JR, you found it…  take it away!

From the homeowner:

“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.”
