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
Co-worker 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!"
