Overdue

Mr. John 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. John receives a telephone call from Electric Company because the electricity bill has
not been paid. " Am I speaking to Mrs. John ? " "Yes...... speaking"

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 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 Electric Company's 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 Elecric Company , "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."
