Old but still funny.
+++++++++++++++++++++ Don't mess with the older generation!! HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE. 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?' and he said 'no'. Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available. George said, 'Okay,' hung up, counted to 30, and 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've just shot them.' Then he hung up. Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response Unit, 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!' (True Story) I LOVE IT - Don't mess with old people!! |

It was widely circulated as fact, some versions even naming the newspaper where it supposedly originally appeared. It's at the point where I'm beginning to suspect not everything one reads on the internet is true, shocking, but it sure looks that way. ;^) |

I hate seeing AlGore's invention getting abused this way.

Does it mean that I don't give a **** if it's Zero, or does that mean I really care? OTOH, could it be that at full scale, 5000 is the ultimate in DontGiveA****? Currently that meter is reading nothing, so does that mean,if the former is true, that Rob don't give a ****, or does it mean the meter isn't hooked up? More information is required, I'm afraid. -- Tanus This is not really a sig. http://www.home.mycybernet.net/~waugh/shop/ |
