Sorry if it's a repost>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Mr. Silva comes home one night, and his wife throws her arms around
his neck: She said " 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. Silva receives a telephone call from the Ceylon Electricity Board
because the electricity bill has not been paid.
'Am I speaking to Mrs. Silva ?' ,
’Yes, speaking'
CEB guy: ' You're a month overdue, you know!
' How do YOU know ? ' stammers Mrs Silva.
'Well, ma'am, it's in our files!' says the CEB guy .
'What are you saying? It's in your files ..........'HOW?????'
'Yes ............ We have a system to find out who's overdue'
'GOD!!!!!!......... This is too much..........'
'Madam, I am sorry.....I am following orders, I have to inform you
that you are overdue!'
'I know that......let me talk to my Husband about it tonight. He will
speak to your Company tomorrow '
That night, she tells her husband about the call, and he, mad as a
bull, (as usual, you guess!) rushes to CEB office the next day.
'What's going on? You have it on file that my wife is a month overdue?
What business is that of yours?' the silva shouts.
'Just calm down,' says the lady at the reception at CEB, '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, alarmed !!!!!!!!!
'I don't know. I guess she'd have to use a Candle !!!!
