Two gas company servicemen, a senior training
supervisor and a young
trainee, were out checking meters in a
suburban neighborhood. They parked
their truck at the end of the alley
and worked their way to the other
end. At the last house a woman
looking out her kitchen window watched
the two men as they checked her
gas meter.
Finishing the meter check, the senior supervisor
challenged his younger
coworker to a foot race down the alley back to the
truck to prove that
an older guy could outrun a younger one.
As they came running up to the truck, they realized the lady from
that
last house was huffing and puffing right behind them. They
stopped and
asked her what was wrong.
Gasping for breath, she
replied, „When I see two gas men running as
hard as you two were, I
figured I’d better run too!“
