My parents had one of those big light-up Santas that usually stood on our front porch during the Christmas season. One year my father decided to put Santa on the roof. My younger brother & I were watching TV when we saw Dad fall past the window. He came in, holding his wrist (I will NOT describe how bad his wrist was; I still shudder). My mother was putting her coat on to take him to the hospital when she noticed a lot of red on my father’s coat collar. She started freaking out, thinking there was also a bad head injury. I looked closer at the collar…and started laughing. My brother caught on and laughed, too. Soon, even my father joined in! My mother looked ready to kill all 3 of us. I finally said, “Mom…what was the last thing you did before Dad went out on the roof?” She answered, “I touched up Santa’s coat.” “What did you use?” “Lipstick.” Then she got the joke: Dad had lipstick on his collar from Santa!
I’m in my 70s, out of shape, have no balance and I’m cheap, to boot, so I have several reason to not decorate my house’s outside. I AM, however, very grateful to those who, through craziness or simple stupidity, persist in decorating their home’s exterior! It has absolutely NOTHING to do with Christmas, but it’s always extremely pleasing to observe and I appreciate and applaud your efforts to entertain your fellow man! Thank you!
I witnessed my Mum fall off the stool putting up decorations. I was only little at the time and it frightened me. She’s only 5 foot so I think putting up decorations should be left to taller people. No accidents that way.

Fortunately nothing was damaged. (Because there’s nothing inside his head.)

What good would Garfield answering the phone, even do? He can’t talk. He’s a cat.

Oye it’s just a wild guess lads,But I believe the dropping on his head started in the hospital immediately after his birth?

In a related note, Jon cleared concussion protocol and the NFL will allow him to play this Sunday.
