HOW TO CALL THE POLICE

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
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, 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!"

LOL. Tempting but I just wonder if they'd cite you for false report or something. Might even try and take your gun(s). Funny story though.

Yea, I'm sure the police would not be happy campers about the situation. Like the Snopes article said, the one person that did do something similar wound up in a pretty serious jam.

Sure sounds good though!! :rolleyes:

You could take their picture and then saying you "shot" them wouldn't be lying. If the police interpret 'shot' as gunshot, that's their problem :D
