       TO CALL THE POLICE

   WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE.

   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 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
   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!"



   Don't mess with old people.
