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" British Gas guy, "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."
