I was going to bed the other night when my wife told me that I had left the light on in the shed. She could see from the bedroom window. As I looked for myself, I saw that there were people in the shed taking things.
I phoned the police, and they told me that no one was in the area help at this time, but they would send someone over as soon as they were available.
I said “OK,” hung up, and waited one minute, then phoned the police back.
“Hello. I just called you a minute ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now 'cause I’ve shot them.”
Within five minutes there were half a dozen police cars in the area, an Armed Response unit, the works. Of course, they caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the officers said: “I thought you said that you shot them!”
I replied, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”
