The man with the guts
This is the true story of George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the shed. George opened the door and went out to switch off the light, and saw some men in the shed.
He immediately called the police, who asked, “Is someone in your house?” and George said, “No,” and explained the situation.
Then they explained that all the patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available.
George said, “Okay,” hung up, counted to 30, and called the police again.
“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were some men in my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I’ve just shot them all.”
Then he hung up. Within five minutes, three squad cars, an Armed Response Unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the policemen said to George, “I thought you said that you’d shot them!”
George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”
Poor snail
A man moved to a mountain top to get rid of the hustle and be alone.
One day he heard a knock at the door but no one was there. He looked down and there sat a snail who said, “It is quite cold out here. Can I come in?”
The man shouted, “No! Why don’t you all understand I want to be alone?” and he kicked the snail down the mountain.
One year later, there was a knock at the door but no one was there. He looked down and there again sat a snail who said, “What did you do that for?”
Doing it the right way
A blonde and a redhead have a ranch. They have just lost their bull. The women need to buy another, but only have $500. The redhead tells the blonde, “I will go to the market and see if I can find one for under that amount. If I can, I will send you a telegram.”
She goes to the market and finds one for $499. Having only one dollar left, she goes to the telegraph office and finds out that it costs one dollar per word. She is stumped on how to tell the blonde to bring the truck and trailer. Finally, she tells the telegraph operator to send the word “comfortable”.
Skeptical, the operator asks, “How will she know to come with the trailer from just that word?” The redhead replies, “She’s a blonde so she reads slow: ‘Come for ta bull.’”
