Directions on "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 and told them that there were burglars in
his shed. The officer asked, "Is someone in your house?" and he said
no.The officer replied 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!"
