Don't mess with old people...
An old man was going up to bed one night, when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. The man 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."
The police dispatcher responded, "All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available."
The man said, "Okay." He then 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, and an Ambulance showed up at the man's residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the policemen said to the old man, "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"
The old man responded, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"
The moral of the story? Don't mess with old people.
