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.
