A night watchman was just getting off work when he met the CEO of the company, who was coming to work at the same time. He went to the CEO and told him: “I had a dream last night that the plane you’re going to take for your business trip crashed. I don’t dream very often, but when I do, my dreams always come true. You should take the train instead”. Being a superstitious man himself, the CEO took the watchman’s advice and took the train. Sure enough, the plane he would have taken crashed, killing everyone on board. When he got back from his business trip, he met the night watchman again, and told him: “Thanks for the warning. You saved my life. You’re fired.”
Why did he fire the night watchman? (This is the kind of riddle that is prefaced by “I’m only going to say this once”. No fair going back and reading it again).
