Mr. Verma comes home one night, and his wife throws her arms around his
neck: "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 until we find out for
sure, we can't tell anybody."
The next day, Mrs. Verma receives a telephone call from British Gas
because the electricity bill has not been paid.
"Am I speaking to Mrs Verma?"
"Yes...... speaking"
"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 British Gas guy.
"What are you saying? It's in your files ... HOW ?????"
"Yes ....... We have a system of finding out who's overdue"
"GOD !!!!!!......... This is too much.........."
"Madam, I am sorry.... I am following orders.... I have to inform you
are overdue".
"I know that ... let me talk to my husband about this tonight...he will
speak to your company tomorrow ".
That night, she tells her husband about the visit, and he, mad as a
bull, rushes to British Gas office the next day morning.
"What's going on? 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 lady at the reception at British Gas, "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 yours off."
"And what would my wife do then?" the husband asks.
"I don't know. I guess she'd have to use a candle."
