An elderly couple is settling into bed when the old man realizes he left the lights on in the greenhouse out back.

Suddenly, they hear voices. Three men have broken into the greenhouse.

Frightened, they call the police.

Dispatcher: “We’ll send an officer as soon as one becomes available. All units are currently busy.”

A few minutes later, the old man calls dispatch again.

Old Man: “Don’t worry about sending anyone. I shot the robbers, and now my dogs are eating their bodies.”

Within minutes, police cars swarm the neighborhood and catch the burglars red-handed.

Officer: “Sir, I thought you said you shot the robbers and your dogs were eating them.”

Old Man: “I thought you said there weren’t any officers available.”
