Reminds me of one I heard about a man hearing a noise from outside and looking out, he sees a couple of burglars breaking into his shed. He calls the police but they tell him it will be ~25 mins to get a patrol car there.
The man hangs up and calls again 2 mins later. He tells the dispatcher that he has now shot both burglars. A couple of minutes later when half a dozen cruisers arrive at the mans door and catch the burglars red-handed and very much alive, the Captain says to the man "I thought you told the dispatcher that you shot the burglars".
The man replies, "I thought the dispatcher told me it would take 25mins for you guys to get here !!"
Well, I thought it was funny....
