Reply #27: Reminds me of an anecdote I once heard ... [View All]

For all I now it might be true.

A man's wife noticed a peeping tom lurking around the bedroom window. He called 911.

Fifteen minutes later he called 911 again and was told that the police were responding and to be patient.

Fifteen minutes later he once again called 911. When they answered he said, "I'm the guy that has been calling you because of the peeping tom at 801 East Jackson Street. Well you can cancel the call. Send the coroner. I just shot the SOB."

Several minutes later his house was surrounded by police cars and a helicopter was circling overhead. The peeping tom was apprehended.

Of course the home owner got in a lot of trouble, but in the end he considered it worthwhile.
