a young husband comes home one night, and his wife throws her arms around his neck.
"darling, i have great news - i'm a month overdue. i think were going to have a baby!
the doctor gave me a test today, but until we find out for sure, we cant tell anybody."
the next day, a guy from the electric company rings the door-bell, because the young
couple hasn't paid their last bill. "are you mrs smith? you're a month overdue, you know!"
"how do you know?" stammers the young woman.
"well, maam, its in our files!" says the man from the electric company.
"what are you saying? its in your files???"
"absolutely."
"well, let me talk to my husband about this tonight."
that night, she tells her husband about the visit, and he, mad as a bull, rushes to
the electric company offices the first thing the next morning. "whats going on here?
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 clerk, "its 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 dont know. i guess she'd have to use a candle."
