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?'

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 just shot them.'
Then he hung up.

Within five minutes six police cars, a SWAT Team, a helicopter, two fire
trucks, a paramedic 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!'

I LOVE IT!

Don't mess with Mississippi old people.

A similar story about the power company...

An electric power line came down in his back yard. He called the power
company and they said they couldn't get there for awhile. He got tired
of being without power, so he called them back about an hour later,
explained the situation again and said that he had his ladder against
the power pole, was going to use his car jumper cables to resolve the
issue but just wanted to know if it made any difference which way he put
the red and black leads.

They were there in about 10 minutes.

fell down and he couldn't get to his phone.His cat hit the 911 button.
