George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi was going up to bed when his wife
told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see
from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the
light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things. He phoned
the police, who asked, "Is someone in your house?" and he said, "No". Then
they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door
and an officer would be along when available. George said, "Okay," hung up,
counted to 30, and phoned the police again. "Hello, I just called you a few
seconds ago because there were people 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 police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an
ambulance showed up at the Phillips' residence and 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!"

I've read that before, but it is still funny.

You'd be surprised how many people would call in to request a deputy re some problem and state the other person has a gun. We bust our you know what to get there to discover they just said that to get us there faster.
