quote:

The 65-year-old veteran from Austin said he was heading home after taking his wife to work one hazy morning early last week when he saw what appeared to be a man in a blue plaid shirt, jeans and Velcro sneakers, hanging from the rooftop by his fingertips. The figure was tangled up in a string of holiday lights and the ladder was just out of his reach.

Surveillance video from a Nest Cam showed Norwood run up to the home, screaming, “Oh mister, please hold on!” He grabbed the ladder, ripping it from the display, and repositioned for him.

“Alright, can you reach it? Can you reach it?!" he added.

When there was no response, Norwood shouted, “Help!”

People are getting very creative with the decorations. I saw one the other day where they had a mannequin dressed like cousin Eddie emptying the septic tank. Next to it was the griswaldas car with a dug up tree on top.

The old man can at least get into the joke. His quotes are hilarious

He sincerely thought someone was in trouble. Good man. Some folks would have videotaped hoping they could see him fall.

This has been in the news here in Texas the past few days. I genuinely felt bad for the guy but he seems to be taking it in stride. Poor dude was up for dumbass of the week on one of the radio stations but the pulled him because he was attempting to do good. The winner was a dumbass who didn't know New Mexico was in the US.

That is hilarious.

Alfred is a hero though.

quote:

“I was in a panic. My heart was beating so fast,” Norwood said. “I had to struggle to try to get the ladder loose and by the time I got it untangled, I was thinking to myself that he hadn’t said anything. I was thinking he’d been electrocuted.”
