How to call the police when you're old and don't move fast anymore.
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!"
I LOVE IT - Don't mess with old people.
