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. They 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 cars 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 one available.’
