A Fun Story!

I got this via email...and thought I would share!

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 minu tes 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!"
