Thanks to Pat & Sue for sharing this joke with us.
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 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!" (True Story)
