A young husband comes home one night, and his wife throws
her arms around his neck: "Darling, I have great news: I'm a
month overdue. I think we're going to have a baby! The
doctor gave me a test today, but we until we find out for
sure, we can't tell anybody."
The next day, a guy from the electric company rings the
doorbell, because the young couple haven't paid their last
bill: "Are you Mrs. Smith? You're a month overdue, you
know!"
"How do YOU know?" stammers the young woman.
"Well, ma'am, it's in our files!" says the man from the
electric company.
"What are you saying? It's in your files?????"
"Absolutely."
"Well, let me talk to my husband about this tonight."
That night, she tells her husband about the visit, and he,
mad as a bull, rushes to the electric company offices the
first thing the next morning.
"What's going on here? You have it on file that my wife is a
month overdue? What business is that of yours?" the husband
shouts.
"Just calm down," says the clerk, "it's nothing serious. All
you have to do is pay us."
"PAY you? and if I refuse?"
"Well, in that case, sir, we'd have no option but to cut you
off."
"And what would my wife do then?" the husband asks.
"I don't know. I guess she'd have to use a candle." |
