Calling the cops

George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, was going up to bed when his

wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she

could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn

off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked "Are any of those people in your house?"

and he said no.



Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply stay

in his house, lock his doors and an officer would be along when available.



George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.

"Hello, I just called you few seconds ago because there were people in my

shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now 'cause I've just shot

them all."



Then he hung up.



Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an

ambulance showed up at the Phillips residence. Of course, the police

caught the burglars red-handed. One of the Policemen said to George, "I

thought you said that you'd shot them!"



George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"
