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 Reliance Energy because the electricity bill has not been paid.
Am I speaking to Mrs. Sharma? "
"Yes... speaking"
Reliance 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 Reliance 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
incident, and he, mad as a bull,rushes to Reliance 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 Reliance, "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."
