How to call the police when you're old.

[PullMyFinger]

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 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?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!"

Seems a bit far fetched, but I really want it to be true.

One of the few good things about getting old is that you realise with some glee -- what is the worst thing that they can do to you if you have only twenty years to go.

Put you in jail? There you are sure to get peace and quiet, no nagging wife, no sex attacks from the pervs in there because you know you are no longer attractive and, if you were, there are no weemin in the male part of the jail to pester the life outa you.

You get free meals, free T.V., probably a chance to get a round of golf at the local country club because the rules are so soft and lax these days about prison being a penalty that you are sure to have someone in authority taking pity on you as you limp painfully along what's left of life's path. And no one expects you to make clotherts pegs!

And I am sure that there are guys on here and gals too who can think of some more choice things that make life a canter in the GAOL the noo.

Chust a thocht !

Cracking story.

on a similar note, i seem to recall former Everton striker Duncan Ferguson allegedly beating up intruders in his home while in his birthday suit! A slightly different way of dealing with intruders!
