HOW 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 "Are any of those people in your house" and he said no.
Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply
stay in his house, lock his doors 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 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!"
