Hey what can I say… I’m on a roll !. anyway here goes !
A man goes to his young sons bedroom to tuck him in for the night when the son says’ dad, I can’t sleep, I keep having these dreams that Aunty edna has died’… so the man replies ’ don’t worry about it son, I can assure you that aunty edna is just fine, I spoke to her on the phone only minutes ago, now stop worrying and go to sleep’. The next day, Aunty edna dies.
A few days later, once again the man goes to tuck his son into bed when the boy once again complains that he can’t sleep.. he explains ’ Dad, I keep dreaming that grandad has died’. ‘Don’t worry about it, I’m sure he’s fine.. now go to sleep’ replies the father. And sure enough the next day the childs grandfather passes away.
By now the father is a little concerned and when he goes to put his son to bed he’s son says’I keep having dreams that my father has died’. ‘don’t worry, look I’m here and I’m fine’ says the father and then goes to his room.
The father is worried and based on the events of the past week or so he fears for his life. He doesn’t get any sleep all night. The following morning he drives very carefully to work, taking extra care near junctions and keeping well behind all the other traffic. At work he doesn’t lift anything heavy and all day he jumps with freight at the slightest noise.
Anyway he manages to make it through the day OK and goes home. At home he greets his wife and says’ Dammit I’ve had a terrible day, I was thinking I could die at any minute’.. ‘Tell me about it’ says the wife ‘The postman dropped dead at our front door !’
