Old Men are Smart and Dangerous!

George Phillips, an elderly man, from 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?"

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 yourdoors 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 and killed them both, the dogs are eating them right now." 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 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!"

  1. Bravo! If that isn't true, it should be. (I've heard a couple variations which is why I wonder.)

    Either way, TRUE!

  2. I, too, have heard several variations, and they are all funny.
    Also, they are all instructional. When seconds count, etc.

  3. I'm surprised that the old guy didn't wind up in jail for calling 911 under false pretense.
