I got this in an email this morning. It fits here. Sorry for your problems. > >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!" > > >
