Round
like a shot
One night, a man on his way to bed looked out of his window into the back garden. He noticed burglars breaking into his shed.
The man
immediately phoned the police but was told there was nobody in the area to
help, but would send someone over as soon as possible.
The man
hung up. A minute later he rang back
and said:
“Hello,
I rang you a minute ago because I had burglars breaking into my shed.
You don’t have to worry now, because I’ve shot them.”
Within
minutes there were half a dozen police cars, a helicopter and an armed response
unit in the area. They caught the burglars red handed.
One of
the officers said:
“I thought
you said you’d shot them.”
To which
the man replied:
“I thought
you said there was no one available.”
