Reminds me of the following scenario:
Dispatch: 9-1-1, how can we help you?"
Caller: A couple of guys are breaking into my shed.
Dispatch: We will get someone out there as soon as possible. Everybody is out of calls right at the moment. It may be half an hour.
Caller: Half an hour will be too late!
Dispatch: I'm sorry sir, that is the best we can do.
Caller: FINE! (hangs up)
Dispatch: 9-1-1, how can we help you?
Caller: I called in a few minutes ago about someboduy breaking into my shed.
Dispatch: Yes, sir, are they still there?
Caller: Don't worry about it, I shot them.
Dispatch: WHAT?? WE WILL HAVE OFFICERS OUT THERE IMMEDIATELY!
Caller: I thought you said there was no one available? (hangs up)

The Idaho version...
Dispatch: 9-1-1, how can we help you?"
Caller: A couple of guys are breaking into my shed.
Dispatch: Sir, do you have a gun? It will be at least half an hour before we can get anyone out there.
Caller: Yes, yes, I have a rifle.
Dispatch: Feel free to shoot them. We'll collect the bodies when we get there. Better yet, do you have a tractor?
Caller: Yes, I have a rifle and a tractor...
Dispatch: Why are you calling us then? (hangs up)
