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 an alley and worked their way 
to the other end. 

At the last house, a woman looking out her kitchen window watched the two men as they checked her gas meter.

Finishing the meter check, the senior supervisor challenged his younger co-worker to a foot race down the alley and back to the truck to prove that an older guy could outrun a younger one.

As they came running up to the truck, they realized the woman 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 I figured 
I'd better run too!”
