HOW
TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE
submitted by Suzette Cerrillo
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've just shot them." Then he hung up.
Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response Unit,
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!"
