Proudly Deplorable
The old woman reached for her husband in bed. "Honey," she said " I think someone is out back in the shed." The old man got up to look.
Sure enough there were three men breaking in to rob his garden shed. So he dialed 911 and got the dispatcher.
"a garden shed?' she asked.
"Yes " he responded.
"Look sir, right now we have everybody out on real issues. It might be 30 minutes or so"
"30 minutes?" he querried. "But, the theives will likely be gone by then." Are you sure you cannot get here faster?"
The annoyed dispatcher answered "No way they can get there any sooner" and hung up.
The old man thought for a moment about getting his gun and taking care of things himself.
"Police Dept, What's the nature of your emergency?" asked the dispatcher.
"Oh, said the old man," I'm just calling back to let you and your guys know to take their time. I shot the buggers and they are layin' out in the backyard."
Within seconds sirens could be heard. Five, count them, five police cars showed up with light,sirens and guns drawn.
As they approached the thieves ran but were easily caught.
Later the Captain accosted the old man "I thought you said you shot them?"
The old man scratched his chin thoughtfully, grinned and responded, "I thought you said you couldn't get here in less than thirty minutes."
