A homeowner, who adorned his front lawn with Michelangelo’s “David”, decided to make him seasonally appropriate by adding a Santa hat and beard. His goal was to give drivers a chuckle as they passed, but he succeeded only in pissing people off.
Parents began calling city officials complaining that their children had seen the Renaissance statue thus adorned and asked why Santa was naked. (They must think Santa is like Barbie; no reproductive parts.)
The city responded that the statue did not violate any town ordinances and there were no obscenity issues. But an official left the homeowner a voice mail requesting that he put more clothes on David. The homeowner complied by adding a pair of black and white velvet shorts, with a Christmas bow (as Michelangelo turns over in his grave).
