THE BREAK-IN
THE BREAK-IN
At bedtime, the 81-year-old woman said to her 83-year-old husband:
"Listen... I just looked out the window, and I think the garage light is on. Would you get up and turn it off?"
With great difficulty, the old man got out of bed, opened the door, and went outside. He saw five or six burglars tampering with the garage door. He immediately called the police station.
"Look... take down my address. It’s just my wife and me here, and five or six thieves are attacking my garage. Please send a police team quickly..."
The dispatcher replied, "We've noted your address. Don't worry. No team is available right now. I'll send someone as soon as I can get a team."
Frustrated, the old man watched the burglars struggling with the garage locks. Two minutes later, he called the police station again:
"Listen... there's no need to send anyone now. I’ve shot all five of them."
The police station erupted in chaos. Within five minutes, a police team arrived in the street with a helicopter, paramedics, three doctors, and two ambulances. Soon, they had the criminals under control. Later, the team leader casually walked up to the old man and asked:
"You said you shot them, didn’t you?"
"And didn’t you say no team was available?"
