POWER CUTS
Too many power cuts happening these days...........
Mr.Sharma 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. Sharma receives a telephone call from BSES (Bombay
Suburban Electricity Supply) because the electricity bill has not
been paid.
Am I speaking to Mrs. Sharma ? "
"Yes...... speaking"
BSES 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 BSES 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 BSES 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 BSES, "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 !!!"
"In Life... Don't Complicate Simple Problems..."
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the
world's work, and the power to appreciate life.
