DALLAS, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- A Dallas man who set up a man-seeking Christmas scene in his female friends' yard with a 16-foot-tall ship said the prank was the latest in a long tradition.

Bill Lisle, 33, said the Christmas scene he set up in the yard of friends Angie Friddle, 34, and Jennifer Lewis, 37, featured a 16-foot-tall ship dubbed the USS ManFinder, and mannequin versions of Friddle and Lewis, the Dallas Morning News reported Thursday.

Lisle, who said he knows the women from church, rigged the mannequins with a tape recording of the women discussing how their Christmas sweaters are failing to attract them any men.

"We can poke fun of two girls in the 30s who are still single, but their identity is in Christ and they're using where they are right now to serve God," Lisle said.

He said he has been pulling pranks on the pair for years, beginning three years ago when he borrowed two pigs from a country-themed event and left them in the women's fenced-in back yard.

"The police left thinking there had been a random dropping off of pigs," Friddle said.

The prankster said Friddle and Lewis have taken his latest joke in stride, and have even promised to cook dinner for his construction team when they return to take the display down after Christmas.
