All those hotheads talking about "defunding the police," who are you gonna call when Randy Quaid is stumbling around in your front yard in a bathrobe, huh?
Police in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, were called to the scene of a man allegedly exposing himself outside a home — only to find out it was simply an elaborate tribute to a beloved Christmas movie.
When police arrived on the scene on Wednesday, Dec. 21, they were relieved to learn that no crime was occurring that day in the small city about 20 miles south of Louisville: It was just a mannequin belonging to a "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" movie super-fan, as local Fox affiliate WDRB-TV reported.
It's a wonder the police dispatch didn't figure that out right away. The description of the incident was reportedly:
"...a male standing outside. He is naked. He has a robe covering part of his body. He is exposing himself, and he has a hose between his legs."
Which, if that doesn't make you think of Christmas Vacation right away, I don't know what to tell you:
Here's the display itself:
Thankfully the cops didn't make too big a deal out of it:
Officers on the scene did not make any arrest or citation. Instead, they "did get a laugh and took some photos of the display," said WDRB-TV.
Indeed. Here's footage of the police showing up, with one officer apparently in the act of snapping a shot:
