ok i have one:

There was an employee working in a petrol station, and he dreamt that one of the pipes were leaking and quickly notified the boss. They went to check and there really was a pipe leaking and they quickly fixed it. But after that, the boss fired this employee, why?

indeed, well done

i had another one which i think is better than this one (a taxi driver from China told me it lol) but i can't translate it properly since it involves a chinese sweet and i doubt a lot of you would know what it is lol - my best translation of it is 'red (and green) bean paste/soup' lol
