You Can Be Too Careful!

A man once went to a fortune teller, curious to know what she would say about his future.  The fortune teller looked into her crystal ball and her facial expression said it all.

The man would die, she said, involved in a bus accident.  This would happen within two to three months time, but she couldn’t say exactly when.  The man went home, depressed and worried, telling himself how he had never really believed in fortune tellers.  Why should he now?

After two months passed, he had thought about what she said every day.  Anxious about avoiding the fate that had been predicted, he decided to lock himself in his house where he wouldn’t come close to any busses for the next month.
Another 3 weeks went by and the man came down the stairs from his bedroom to make some coffee.  His little son had left his toys on the floor of which one was a little toy bus. The man stepped on the bus, fell down the stairs and died instantly!
