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 Phillipsresidence. 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!"
