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
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 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!"

Brilliant. LOL.
I would love to have seen their faces when they arrived expecting to see dead bodies everywhere!
I guess sometimes people need a bit of incentive to get moving! I wonder what penalties George faced having called in a false report endangering the lives and well-being of the responders and the public?
Well regardless of what happened to George regarding penalties, that was funny!!!!
