Waiting For It To Happen

The boss of a large dress manufacturing firm was staying in a Midlands hotel and one morning he asked the receptionist if there were any fax messages for him. She told him that nothing had arrived. He asked the same question several times during the course of the day and each time he received the same answer. And then, late in the afternoon, the receptionist came up to him in the lobby and said, 'That fax you were expecting has arrived at last, Mr Goldberg.'

He read the message and then staggered back, exclaiming, 'My God! My factory has burned down!'
