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 out-run 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!”
