One well-hung man and his holiday lights

Kansas City weather was gorgeous over the long Thanksgiving weekend — perfect for procrastinators who still hadn’t gotten around to hanging their holiday lights. Unfortunately, it looked as if tragedy was about to strike at a house on the corner of State Line and West 61st Street:

Jeez, had this guy’s ladder really fallen out from under him? Was he really hanging for dear life from the gutter?

Nah. Turns out whoever lives here was just enjoying some excellent holiday humor. We couldn’t quite make out the exact wording of the sign on the ladder, but we think it says “Gotcha! He’s fine. Merry X-mas.”
