  How to call a police man
Posted by: Cadetat6 - 04-24-2005, 09:23 PM - Forum: The Papa Art Section! - No Replies


HOW TO CALL a POLICEMAN

 

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. Of course, the police 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!"

 

(True Story) I LOVE IT...
