Another story going around the internet: An older guy going to bed has his wife tell him he left the light on in their outside shed. He didn't remember being in the shed that day so he looked out the window and saw someone stealing his stuff, so he calls the police. Their reply: They were doing something more important and they couldn't get there in time to catch anyone, so they told him to lock his doors and stay in the house where it was safe. About two minutes later he calls the police back and told them to take their time because he had just stuck a gun out the window and shot one of the burglars. Then he hung up the phone. Within five minutes the police, an ambulance and fire trucks arrive and while running around to the back of the house, they run into the thieves, wrestle them to the ground and handcuff them. When the police asked the old guy where the burglar was that he had shot, he told them he hadn't shot anyone at all. They started screaming at him, "You told us you shot someone!!" His reply: "You told me you couldn't get here in time."
