The Correct Way to Call the Police
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.
Said one of the Policemen to George: "I thought you said that you'd
shot them!"
Replied George, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"
