Folks, if you have an inflatable lighted Santa Claus, don’t put it on a timer. If you do, some kid will see the collapsed thing the next day, and he’ll think you killed Santa.

This reminds me of a video I saw of an inflatable turkey decoy…and a bobcat.

The bobcat snuck slowly up, froze, and then pounced, and the turkey exploded with a loud BANG!

I will always remember the look of WTF? on the bobcat’s face.
