Starts at 60 Daily Joke: An elderly man was going to bed

An elderly man 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. He 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?”

“No, but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me,” the man said.

“All patrols are busy,” the police said. “You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available.”

“Okay,” the man said.

He hung up the phone and counted to 30, then he phoned the police again.

“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I just shot them.” 

Within five minutes, six police cars, a SWAT team, a helicopter, two fire trucks, a paramedic, and an ambulance showed up at the residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.

“I thought you said that you’d shot them!” the policeman said. 

“I thought you said there was nobody available!” the man answered.
