How to Call the Cops
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.
When George opened the back door to go turn off the light, he saw that there were people in the shed stealing things. He phoned the cops, who asked, “Is someone in your house?” 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,” and then hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the cops again. “Hello I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well you dont have to worry about them now, because I’ve shot them all.” Then hung up.
Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response Unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips’ residence. Of course, the cops caught the burglars
red-handed.
One of the cops said to George: “I thought you said that you’d shot them!” George said, “I thought you said that there was nobody available!”
