How to call police in the US

Got this from a friend…. its hillarious!  Her note says its a true story.. anyway just enjoy it!

===========

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!”
