How to call the police

[nickiemcnichols]

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 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!"
