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 as they checked her meter.
Finishing
the meter check, the senior supervisor challenged his younger
co-worker to a footrace down the alley back to the truck to prove
that an older guy could outrun a younger one. As they came tearing
up to the truck, they realized the lady of that end house was
huffing and puffing right behind them. They stopped immediately
and asked her what was wrong.
"When I saw
two gasmen running as hard as you were," gasped the woman, "I
figured I'd better run too!"
A
Lipstick Problem
According to
a radio report, a middle school in Oregon was faced with a unique
problem.
A number
of girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in
the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick
they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little
lip prints.
Finally,
the principal decided that something had to be done. She called
all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance
man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major
problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night.
To demonstrate
how difficult it was to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance
guy to clean one of the mirrors. He took out a long-handled squeegee,
dipped it into the toilet and then cleaned the mirror.
Since then
there have been no lip prints on the mirror.
Pushing It to the
Limit
A motorist
was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar.
A $40 speeding ticket was included.
Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40.
The police responded with another mailed photo ...of handcuffs.
