How to get the police to respond to your call!
This is the second time I've been sent this particular story in an email circular and I expect everyone's heard it already but I love it as it's a true story so thought I'd share the joke!
HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE.
Phillip Hewitson, an elderly man, from Norwich UK , 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?"
He said "No," but
some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me.
Then the police dispatcher
said "All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer
will be along when one is available."
George said, "Okay."
He hung up the phone and
counted to 30.
Then he phoned the police
again.
"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people
stealing things from my shed. Well you don't have to worry about them now
because I just shot them." and he hung up.
Within five minutes, Six Police Cars, a SWAT Team, a Helicopter, two Fire
Trucks, a Paramedic, and an Ambulance showed up at the Hewitson`s' residence,
and caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the Policemen said
to Phillip, "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"
Phillip said, "I thought
you said there was nobody available!"
(True Story) I LOVE IT!
Don't mess with old people
