The Gas Men

"The Gas Men"

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!"
