I was going to bed the other night when my wife told
me that I had left the light on in the shed, she could see from the bedroom
window. As I looked for myself, I saw that there were people in the shed
taking things.

I phoned the police, but they told me that no one
was in our area to help at this time, but they would send someone over as soon
as they were available.

I said "OK", hung up, and waited one minute, then
phoned the police back.

"Hello. I just called you a minute ago because there
were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now cause
I've shot them all."

Within five minutes there were half a dozen police
cars in the area, an Armed Response unit, the works. Of course, they
caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the officers said: "I thought you said that
you'd shot them!"

I replied with, "I thought you said there was nobody
available!"
