Caught Red-Handed

A man was going to bed one night when his wife told him
that he had left the light on in the shed. She could see
the light was on from the bedroom window. As the man
looked for himself he saw that there were people in the
shed taking things.

The man phoned the police, but they told him that
no one was in the area to help him at that time,
but they would send someone over as soon as they
were available.

He said "OK," hung up, and waited one minute, then
phoned the police back. "Hello" he said, "I just
called you a minute ago because there were people
in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about
them now 'cause I've shot them."

Within five minutes there were half a dozen police
cars in the area, an Armed Response unit, the works.
Of course, they caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the officers said: "I thought you said that
you shot Them!" The man replied, "I thought you said
there was nobody available!"
