One morning the factory owner arrived to open up when the night-watchman came running along the corridor toward him. âBoss, Bossâ he shouted, almost breathlessly. âI must speak to you urgentlyâ âWhatâs up George?â asked the boss. âWellâ said George âThis is going to sound stupid, but please take it seriouslyâ âGo onâ said the boss. So George continued; âLast night, when I was asleep, I had a dream. Now this is the bit that sounds stupid, but itâs true. A lot of my dreams come true. And in last nightâs dream a group of thieves broke in TONIGHT and robbed the place. Please donât think Iâm a crank â just make sure youâre ready for them tonightâ âThanks for letting me know Georgeâ said the boss. Later that night a group of thieves did indeed attempt to break in, but the boss, who had listened to and taken heed of Georgeâs warning, was ready and had tipped off the police. The thieves were all arrested and there was no damage to the property and nothing was stolen. The next morning the foreman went up to George and said âGeorge the boss wants to see you in his officeâ Great, thought George, I wonder how he will reward me for saving the factory from being done over⦠a reward perhaps? Or a pay riseâ¦? George knocked on the door and entered. âYou wanted to see me boss?â he said, with a broad smile on his face. âThatâs right Georgeâ said the boss. âHereâs your P45 â youâre fired!â THE QUESTION ISâ¦..WHY? As always, answers by PM please
Overnight answers. Third spot goes to Pompey_Needs_Nugent Correct answers also from DazzaPompey and Tekkersaurus Rex For the benefit of those who gave wrong answers (you know who you are) He told the boss that he had his dream whist he was asleep the previous night - when he was supposedly on duty as the night - watchman. So he was sacked for sleeping on duty
