Who Needs A Urn ?

[IPAlarms]

A man awoke one evening to discover burglers in his storage shed. He immediately called 999 and notified the police of a possible burglary.

The operator asked " Are they in your house?"

He said no... only in the shed in the back garden.

Operator said there were no cars available at the time.... He thanked the operator and hung up.

He counted to 30 seconds or so and called 999 again.

"I just called about a break in at my storage shed ...well, you don't have to worry - I just shot them and they're all down !" - and hung up.

Within minutes there were 3 police cars and an ambulance as well as a fire engine in his driveway.

After capturing the burglers red handed, the policeman asked the home owner "I thought you said you shot them all !"

The man answered, " I thought you said there were no cars available!"

guys now doing 18months for wasting police time

my Dad bless him, in the last years suffered shortage of breath mainly due to years of smoking, anyway this particular day he was sat in his chair, waiting patiently for a cup match with Milwall in it on the box, he had supported them from childhood so he really wanted to see the match as he could no longer manage to go down to 'the den' and it's not often they get on the box.

just as it was about to kick off the phone rings and it won't stop. so he finally answers it. it's a cold call selling conservatories - he lived in a 1st floor flat, so the sale guy persists with a double glazing pitch, then guttering, all the while the match had started and now well in progress. being a gentleman he was, he is to polite to put the phone down straight away, so to get ride of the caller he says he has got to go now as he is feeling extremely giddy and very unwell, then puts the phone down.

settles back in his chair again no doubt having a good old mumble, minutes later theres urgent knocking on the door - so he rushes as fast as he could now making him severely out of breath, he answerers the door and 2 paramedic's great him, who then insist my dads got to go off to hospital in an ambulance for a check up there and then, stick an oxegen mask over his face he can't even explain the real reason as he is to embarresed at fibbing so obviously misses this highly prized match.

the sales person had got very concerned about this elderly person complaining of being unwell, coupled with my dad's then faked heavy breathing, so bless them really, he called 999

my dad normally a very patient guy with that old world charm, but never liked 'cold calling' techniques after that incident, all the funnier to us, as he used to be a door to door insurance agent and often related how he got sales
