I thought you said no one was available

In the news, man finds an ingenious way to get the cops to his house – quickly…

I thought you said no one was available
I thought you said no one was available

The text of the newspaper article reads:

Going to bed the other night, I noticed people in my shed stealing things.  I phoned the police but was told no one was in the area to help. T hey said they would send someone over as soon as possible.

I hung up.  A minute later I rang again.  “Hello,” I said, “I called you a minute ago because there were people in my shed.  You don’t have to hurry now, because I’ve shot them.”

Within minutes there were half a dozen police cards in the area plus helicopters and an armed response unit.  They caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the officers said, “I thought you said you’d shot them?”

To which I replied, “I thought you said there was no on available.”

Geeks talk back
