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. Of course, the police 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!"


:p
 
Reminds me of another "calling the police" joke. I forgot who the comic was, but the joke was about what might happen if 911 got too busy.


"Thank you for calling 911 emergency services. All of our dispatchers are busy handling other emergencies at this time. If your home is being burglarized and you're calling from a touch tone phone, press 1 now. If your home is being burglarized and you're calling from a rotary phone, knock the burglar out with your rotary phone and call back later."

My mom still uses a rotary dial phone and pays rent to the phone company for it. But hers is the wall mounted kind. Still, the receiver alone on that sucker could cause some serious blunt instrument trauma. :eek:
 
there was an episode of the simpsons that said something like
"hello and welcome to the springfield police department resc-u-fone. if you know the name of the felony being committed, press one. to choose from a list of felonies, press two. if you are being murdered or calling from a rotary phone, please stay on the line."
hehe-i will have to remember that one gel...

When my granmother finally got a new phone we had to take down her old rotary dial wall phone. She had the phone for something like 40 years and was paying rent on it EVERY month! By the time she got rid of it she was paying something like three dollars a month. Easily the most expensive phone in the universe.

The kicker is the phone company actually wanted it back! they probably wanted to put it in a museum as their biggest money maker.

hehehe, I never heard of "paying rent" for a phone, but I would imagine it's something like paying for the box when you have cable....

my sister bought the rotary type that you hang on the wallfor her kitchen from ebay... I guess she was feeling nostalgic..... but when I'm there, it reminds you how quickly people prefer things done these days... like calling someone... :p

Except the cable company at least will upgrade that box every couple of years. This was 40 years of rent for the same phone. ;)
