Title: A Riddle
Post by: Platano on December 13, 2006, 02:11:05 PM

This had me thinking for about an Hour:



Let's say you own a bank and you are very succesful, houses everywhere, small frachises left and right around the globe.

 So you travel alot. One day you have to go to a conference in Florida, So you go to the bank you own and you tell the manager

"I'm going on a trip to Florida", and he say's

"Good luck boss, dont worry about a thing here".

Then you go to the tellers and tell them you're taking a trip to Florida, and the tellers say

"no prob, take care boss."

 Then you go to the nightwatchman and you tell him about your trip, and he says

"have a good trip- no wait boss, I had a dream last night, your plane crashed there were no survivors."

 So you dont make a big deal about it at first, so you go home pack your stuff and decide at the last minute to take the train.

 When you get to Florida, you get to your Hotel room, turn on the TV, low and behold the plane you was supposed to be on Crashed!

 There were no survivors!

So you finish your business in Florida and go back to your bank in New York. You shake the Watchman's hand, give him 10 grand and then you fire him.

Why did you fire him?


HINT: The answer is in the Riddle :aok


Answer Will be posted Saturday night before FSO....Maybe Sooner depending on the levelity on Cluelessness :D

If he's the "nightwatchman" and "had a dream last night" then he was asleep on the job.

However, it could be pointed out that the previous night may have been his night off.  It would have been foolproof had the story said the bank owner was going to Florida on any day Tues-Fri (since banks aren't open over the weekend).

My guess anyway.

shouldn't have added my qualification - i coulda been a contender
