A Funny for Friday

My cousin sent me the little story below - I thought it was too cute to not share. I hope everyone has a terrific weekend. I will be at a solo/ensemble contest with Kelsey all day tomorrow. She has an oboe solo in the morning and her flute trio performs in the afternoon. Any good wishes that could be sent her way would be much appreciated! On Sunday, I'm going to a new Costco in our area - my first time there. My boss recently purchased memberships for everyone in the office, so I'm going to check it out. I'm hoping to find some new lamps for my living room - without having to buy an entire pallet of them! Wish me luck!

Here's the story - it's supposed to be true - I can't vouch for that, but it is cute!

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 in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now cause I've just shot them all." 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!"

Thanks for stopping by!
