How To Call The Police

[BTS]

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!"
