HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE.
George Phillips , an elderly man, from 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?" He said
"No," but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing
from me. Then the police dispatcher said "All patrols are busy. You
should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is
available."
George said, "Okay." He hung up the phone and counted to 30. Then he
phoned the police again.
"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were peopl e
stealing things from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them
now because I just shot them." and 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!"
