HOW TO CALL THE POLICE

WHEN YOU'RE OLD

George Phillips , an elderly man, from 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?" 
He said "No," but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me. 

Then the police dispatcher said "All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available...." 

George said, "Okay." 

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 and killed them both, the dogs are eating them right now" and he hung up. 

Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT Team,a Helicopter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic, 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!"


(True Story) I LOVE IT!

Don't mess with old people.

 
God Bless....

Public Prayer

Andy Rooney says: 
I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for
singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I don't agree with Darwin , but I
didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his
Theory of Evolution. 
Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered
because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game. So
what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the
entire Book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and
asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans
going home from the game. 
But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue. 
Yes, and this is the United States of America , a country founded on
Christian principles. According to our very own phone book, Christian
churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1. So what would you
expect -- somebody chanting Hare Krishna? 
If I went to a football game in Jerusalem , I would expect to hear a
Jewish prayer... 
  
If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad , I would expect to hear a Muslim
prayer. 
If I went to a ping pong match in China , I would expect to hear someone
pray to Buddha. 
  
And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit. 
When in Rome ..... 
But what about the atheists? Is another argument. 
What about them? Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going
to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If that's
asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the
bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer! 
Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell
thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at a
football game is going to shake the world's foundations. 
Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our
courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught
us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells
us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers
are telling us to cease praying. 
God, help us. And if that last sentence offends you, well, just sue me. 
The silent majority has been silent too long. It's time we tell that one
or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast majority doesn't
care what they want. It is time that the majority 
Rules! It's time we tell them, You don't have to pray; you don't have to
say the Pledge of Allegiance; you don't have to believe in God or attend
services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your
right; but by golly, you are no longer going to take our rights away. We
are fighting back, and we WILL WIN! 
God bless us one and all ... Especially those who denounce Him , God
bless America , despite all her faults. She is still the greatest nation
of all. God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right
to pray and worship God.
 
Amen.  For once I agree with the old coot!
 
God bless.....
