Topic: Are you sure?...

FROM a local newspaper article.

~~~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."~~~


smile It helps to know just what actually pushes people buttons to get them going.

=^o.o^= When I'm cute I can be cute.  And when I'm mean, I can be very very mean.  I'm a cat.  Expect me to be fickle.

Did the police say anything to you?

If you are not living on the edge. You're taking up to much space

Re: Are you sure?...

Don't know, got this from local newspaper.  Showed my co-workers and we're all laughing our butts off right now.  But it makes you think of what some people consider "important enough" to get their ass involved in.

Re: Are you sure?...

It's actually quite wrong that he would have to do that.

Re: Are you sure?...

very wrong. also wrong that it takes less time for a pizza to get delivered to your house than it does for the police to respond to just about any calls they receive.

Re: Are you sure?...

I kept thinking he did shoot them. The ending was very disappointing

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Re: Are you sure?...

yeah I don't call the cops til after I go out, armed, to check for myself

and if they're stealing I run them off, then I call PD to see them go

and out west anyhow PD does take 30 mins unless lethal force is involved.

Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

Re: Are you sure?...

If someone stole MY property. First things first, I would have a long discussion as to why they want to steal my stuff, and if there was a way for us to possibly make them not. Secondly, if diplomacy fails, then I will warn them that i do not take threats lightly. If that fails, then we go to the decision based on what weapons are there. If they have a knife, we disarm them in a very efficient manner, namely kick them in the nuts. If they have a gun, if they want my stuff, take it, if they want other >.> things then I will kick them in the nuts first so it hurts. If they have anything else, then I would not bother with fighting them since I would win. I wouldn't lose, I would just naturally win.

If I had a gun and someone was trying to steal my stuff, well, as they say, shoot first ask later.

Re: Are you sure?...

you just have to ask what they are doing first, make sure they are actually stealing from you. possibly get them on video trying to walk out of your house with a tv. then shoot them in the knees, maybe take a baseball bat to their legs, but killing ends poorly with the current screwed up definition of justice we have

Re: Are you sure?...

Killing them means no lawsuit.

Injury means they will own 100% of your property and get 25% of your income for twenty years

Re: Are you sure?...

I did have one. I ate it, goes good with barbeque sauce.  Careful on the sharp and cutting jokes though.
