How To Call Police

 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!"  :-D

How true.

Terre Haute has roughly 140 city cops to operate three shifts. About two years ago a stray attack dog began terrorizing our neighborhood. Four different families reported this canine monster, and everyone was informed that all officers were busy at an accident scene.

Well, this was clearly a lie because I could see two squad cars parked in a nearby lot while the cops chatted away their oh-so-hectic shift.

After the potentially dangerous stray sent two small children screaming into their home, I called the police a second time, and told them the dog had proven to be a menace to human life and limb... Twenty minutes later a cop appears on the scene to snare the brute.

I probably should have told the cop on the phone that the dog had a gun. No doubt an entire tactical unit would have swarmed into our neighborhood muttering "Hooah, hooah, hooah!"  :roll:
