Hitmen getting hit

How come in movies, hitmen are always surprised when their boss decides to off them? They work for a business that kills people. It’s like working for a pig slaughtering plant and not expecting to get a ham at Christmas.

Pig Plant Guy: “Your giving me HAM!!… I should have know, you gave all those other people HAMS over the years. I just never thought I would be the one getting a ham.”

If you are a hitman, it’s hard to find out if your boss is trying to kill you. Hitmen meet in creepy places with bizarre instructions all the time. If your boss tells you, “Meet me at the old docks at 3 am. Tell no one and come alone.” It’s hard for a hitman to give that a second thought.
