Along the Way…

My dad forwarded me this humorous email. While it claims to be true, who can really know with these forwarded emails… regardless, it’s funny!

HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU’RE OLD

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?”   He said “No.”  Then they said “All patrols were 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 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 shot them!”

George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”

(True Story)

Can you remember when Andy Taylor was sheriff? When chewing gum in school would get you demerits?

What happened to America?

If this is what happens when we call 911 for help, what can we expect when our neighbor decides they don’t like us, and call 911 to make a false complaint?

If you’re outraged, do me a quick favor, please… click this link, so the Stark County Sheriff’s Office gets a bunch of referrals from this post. I’m not holding my breath, but maybe they’ll respond! Regardless, they’ll know that people are aware of their crimes.
