What the Helen of Troy is This?

I feel like I’ve definitely noticed these before but I can’t remember why there are three lights. Anyone know what this is?

    brakes, indicator light, reverse.

    Agreed. That house is clearly a Transformer.

    It’s for delivery people.

    Yes, we are the house that ordered the pizza, Chinese, or other.

      Wassssssup, y’all ?

      Look up, man !

      Deliveries of a different sort, actually.

      You think things are bad now ?

      This is was a sophisticated crack house from the overt operations of D.C. dealers from the early 90′s.

      Some even had multiple mounted motion cameras as well, front and back.

      Really wild.

      Wild, wild West it was.

    I think it is to signal the helicopter when it is clear to land on the roof.

    This is clearly the mark of a sophisticated house of “ill-repute.” Now gentlemen callers need not wait, but rather may be aware from the outside of the house as to when their date is ready.

    We have an old non-functioning red light like that on our roofline that was tied to an alarm system. Maybe yellow is fire?

    Optimus???

    OOOOR,

    Red is for Fire
    Yellow for Burglary
    White for snowman attack.

    Yeah, I’m going to be thinking of these all day…

    maybe they’re installing fancy xmas lights

  • Anonymous

    Maybe they wanted to dot the whole roofline with them, but ran out of money after only three…

    Give out the address and then we can just walk over and ask.

  • PT Varnum

    It’s a housemate light. Red means there’s a girl over and to stay away, yellow means a party and they need beer. White is so you can recognize the house at 3am after 12 hours of drinking.

    Seafood space is going to be a jerry’s subz & pizza/subway/dry cleaner
