NEW YORK (Web Desk) - Police in Kentucky were summoned to a neighborhood when a resident confused a part of a neighbor s Christmas Vacation-inspired yard display for an inappropriate visitor.
Shepherdsville Police Chief Rick McCubbin said dispatchers took a call from a resident reporting a scantily-clad man exposing himself outside with a hose between his legs.
Officers arrived to find the reported man was actually a mannequin -- a recreation from a scene in National Lampoon s Christmas Vacation where Cousin Eddie, played by Randy Quaid, stands outside in a robe while emptying his RV s toilet tank.
The mannequin is part of Joni Keeney s Christmas display.
"Everybody has a Cousin Eddie, in their family, everybody," Keeney told WDRB-TV. "I just want people to have a good Christmas and get a laugh."
Keeney said the scene has been a hit with most of the neighborhood -- except, apparently, the resident who called police.
