There was a bus conductor, and he was good at his job.
He worked at it for a long time, and after several years of this, he ended up
getting really dissatisfied.
One day, he went into work, and the first person who asked him for money had
3 screaming children. They just wouldn't shut up, no matter what he did.
The
next person didn't have change, and had to break a £20. By this point the
Conductor was just fuming.
"One more person pisses me off today," he says
"and I swear I'm going to slaughter the whole damn bus!"
Sure enough, the
next person who he asks didn't have any money at all. He flipped, pulled out a
machete, and killed everyone on board.
He was taken away, and the Judge, apalled by the severity of his crime,
issues the Death Sentence.
So he lives in Death Row for a few years before finally being led to the
Electric Chair.
The executioner asked him what he wanted for his last meal. "A green banana"
says the man. So the executioner hands him a green banana. He very deliberately
eats it, before being led away.
He straps him into the machine, and turns the
electricity on. After a minute, they shut the machine down. The man is sitting
there, completely unharmed. "Hmm... maybe the machine's on the blink. We'll try
again tomorrow."
So the next day, they try again, and again ask him what he wants as his last
meal. Again, the man asks for a green banana. One again, he eats it, they
strap him in, and again, leaving it on for a minute, the man is there,
completely unharmed.
This follows on for the next week, each time the man eating a green banana,
then the electrocution failing.
Eventually they decide they're going to have to try the lethal injection.
This is going to be a different executioner, so the first executioner says to
the man "can I just ask you one thing?"
"Sure" says the doomed
man.
"What's your secret? What is it about the bananas that makes you
invulnerable to electrocution?"
"Nothing," says the man "I'm just a bad
conductor!"
