When You're Old & Don't Move Fast Anymore
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. The old 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, reported his address, and the police 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."

The old man said, "Okay" and he hung up the phone and counted to 100. Then he phoned the police a second time.

"Hello, I just called you a little while ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I just shot and killed them both, the dogs are eating them right now," 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 the old man , "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"

The old man said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

Moral of the Story
Don't mess with old people.
