HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN
YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE.
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 'Is someone in
your house?' and he said 'no'. Then they said that all patrols
were busy, and that he should simply lock his door 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 a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things
from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because
I just shot them.' Then he hung up.
Within five minutes six police
cars, a SWAT Team, a helicopter, two fire trucks, a paramedic
and an
ambulance showed up at the Phillips' residence and 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!'
