This is.supposedly a true story but I've heard it a few different times and
it's worth reposting in case anyone missed it:
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,a nd 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, and 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!"
