A “Cousin Eddie” display in Kentucky (Shepherdsville) apparently looked a little too real and police were called to check it out. After receiving the call, a dispatcher described the scene to responding officers as “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.” Officers arrived at the home to find a mannequin in the yard that looked like Cousin Eddie from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. It was decorated with a robe, a hat, a cigar and a beer and was holding what appeared to be an orange hose. Homeowner Joni Keeney said she decided to put up the display from her favorite Christmas movie to have some fun. Responding officers did get a laugh and took some photos of the display.
