Reason To Run

"A Little Drunk?"

An Irishman's been drinking at a pub all night. The
bartender finally says that the bar is closing. So the
Irishman stands up to leave and falls flat on his face.
He tries to stand one more time, same result. He
figures he'll crawl outside and get some fresh air and
maybe that will sober him up.

Once outside he stands up and falls flat on his face. So
he decides to crawl the 4 blocks to his home and when
he arrives at the door, he stands up and falls flat on his
face. He crawls through the door into his bedroom. When
he reaches his bed, he tries one more time to stand up.

This time he manages to pull himself upright but he quickly
falls right into bed and is sound asleep as soon as his
head hits the pillow. He awakens the next morning to his
wife standing over him shouting loudly.

"So, you've been out drinking again!!"

"What makes you say that?" He asks as he puts on an
innocent look.

"The pub called, you left your wheelchair there again."

"Reason To Run"

Two natural gas company service personnel, a senior
training supervisor and a young trainee, were out checking
meters in a suburban neighborhood. They parked their
truck at the end of an 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.

When they finished, the senior supervisor, proud of his
physical condition, challenged his younger co-worker
to a foot race back to their truck.

As they approached the truck, they realized that the woman
from the last house they checked was huffing and puffing
right behind them. They stopped and asked her what was
wrong.

Gasping for breath, she replied, "When I saw two gas
men running as hard as you two were, I figured I'd better
run, too!"
