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 one end of the alley and worked their way to the other. At the last house, a woman looking out her kitchen window watched the two men as they checked her gas meter.
Finishing with the meter check, the senior supervisor challenged his younger co-worker to a foot race down the alley and back to the truck to try and prove that an older guy could outrun a younger one.
As they came running up to the truck, they realized that the lady from the 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!"
I'd run too
