Two Gas Men Were Out Checking Meters

Two gas company servicemen, a senior training supervisor and

a young trainee, were out checking meters in a suburban

neighbourhood. 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. After 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!”
