Default How to call the police

HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE.

George Phillips of the Gold Coast, Australia, 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 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!'

(True Story) I LOVE IT - Don't mess with old people!!

i love it and it works. lost electrical power from the pole to my shop- garage-freezer, was out for a day or so. when i finally found out the frozen seafood was just starting to thaw. called lilco on a friday at 4:00 pm. they said someone would be by on monday. i had my neighbor call and say she was afraid the kids riding bikes might get electrocuted by a dangling wire. 2 cop cars, followed by two lilco trucks in under 20 minutes. took a little explaining, they all ate good that night. doug
