HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE.
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 stealing things from my shed Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I've just shot them.' 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!'
Don't mess with old people!!

Sounds like a real life episode I had a year ago.
I woke up at the usual 0500. Shower, shaved, put on some clothes, make a lunch and head out the door.
I opened the door, with my lunch box and thermos in hand, And turned to see someone getting out of my van. We stared at each other for a few seconds, then for some reason I flung both the lunch pale and the thermos at the burglar. The lunch pail missed, but the thermos connected smack dab in the guys face. He hit the ground with a thud, giving me enough time to run back in the house, tell the wife to call 911, and grab a shotgun.
I ran back out the door to find the burglar had just gotten up and was trying to run off. He made it about halfway down the driveway when I let loose a round of 000 buck in front of him, blowing a 6 inch crater in my driveway (Realize I live out in the sticks and have no really close neighbors) He got thwe hint and fell to his knees with his hands in the air. About that time my wife (who was still on the phone) says "they wanna know if you shot him, and if they need to send an ambulance or a Hearse". I told her to tell them that I got the perp at gunpoint.
About 30 seconds later I hear sirens and see lights coming down my road...Must have been half of the Sheriffs department. One car with two deputies roll up, and now I'm getting ready to put my weapon down and lay spread eagle when the deputy comes out with a shotgun, takes aim on the perp, and says "Ok, Sir, I got him". I made my way back to the house and out the shotgun away. By then they already had the guy in the car. I gave them my ID and they asked if my family and I were ok. I told them, "Yeah, just a little shaken up". The deputy said he'd write it up as Justifiable and would be in touch if he needed anything else and left.
God I love Texas
