>>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 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!!
