Working the System (Not original)

I was going to bed the other night when my wife told me that I had left the light on in the shed, she could see from the bedroom window. As I looked for myself, I saw that there were people in the shed taking things. I phoned the police, but they told me that no one was in this area to help at this time, but they would send someone over as soon as they would be available. I said OK, hung up, and waited one minute,then phoned the police back. "Hello. I just called you a minute ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now cause I've shot them all." And within minutes there were half a dozen police cars in the area, an Armed Response unit, the works.Of course, they caught the burglars red-handed. One of the officers said: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"I replied with: "I thought you said there was nobody available!"This is a fictional story. In the real world, I would have been arrested for making a false alarm or report. The burglars would have made bond before me.

    Unfortunately Nunn, there is probably more "Truth" to that story than fiction ... even if it didn't really happen!

    If you really desire something, you'll find a way ?
    ? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.

    Geez, isn't that typical (even if it's fiction)! I see the same type of thing at my client's sites. They say they don't have the funding to implement the technology solutions that I recommend. Then, when their systems fail they want them repaired "at any cost". Somehow, the funding magically becomes available when the priority changes. Funny how these things work..
