So, for a Halloween tableau this guy made his yard look for all the world like a plane crash site. I guess all the suicide bomber backdrops were already rented out. We’re told the police visited his home, thinking the crash was real. All I know for sure is, a real 747 in flames could nose-dive straight into his house next week, and nobody would pay any attention, no matter what.

I promise I’ll get back to normal with it! […]

I think this is funny, and all it would take is few seconds of contemplation to note that the house is intact after the “plane crash”
