| ...worked for
the Railroad as a conductor. Let's say
 his name was Joe. Well, Joe was walking
 through the train, en route, collecting
 tickets from the passengers. He comes to
 car 12, booth 3. In it is this beautiful
 woman. He asked her for her ticket:
 
 "Excuse me ma'am, do have your ticket?"
 
 "Oh, I am soooo sorry, I dropped it out
 the window by accident," she replied.
 
 "Sorry, ma'am can't have any passengers
 without tickets." He grabbed her by the
 scruff of the neck and threw her out of
 the train. Well, she landed on the
 tracks, was run over by the train.
 Naturally, the conductor was arrested,
 thrown in jail. He was convicted of
 murder before a jury of his peers, and
 sentenced to death by electrocution.
 
 The day of his execution came up, and he
 was asked what he would like for his
 last meal. He ask for a banana. They
 gave it to him, he ate it, received his
 last rites, and was escorted to the
 chair. The executioner strapped him in,
 hooked everything up. Last, he threw the
 big switch once, and nothing happened.
 So, he did it again, and nothing happened
 Well, by law the conductor was legally
 dead, so they had to release him.
 
 Oddly enough, the guy got a job on
 another railroad, as a conductor! One
 day, he was gathering tickets, and came
 to a booth with a little boy.
 
 "Young man, do you have your ticket?",
 asked the conductor.
 
 "A-a-a, I'm sorry, I ate it by
 mithtake..", said the little boy.
 
 And.. the same thing happened-- the boy
 was thrown off the train and killed. The
 guy was arrested, sentenced to death by
 electrocution. It came to him last day.
 The death row guard asked him what he
 would like for his meal. He asked for
 banana again. He ate it, and a priest
 gave him last rites. He was escorted to
 the death chamber. This time, though,
 they where smart. They washed his hands
 to get rid of any banana slime, they
 washed up the chair. Next, they placed
 him the chair, and hooked him up. The
 switch- puller pulled the switch once,
 and nothing happened. The switch-puller
 pulled the switch twice, and nothing
 happened, not even a single hair raising
 on the guy's chest. Well, as the law
 says, they had to let him go...
 
 Even more amazingly, he got a job on yet
 another railroad. This time it was a
 rabbi. Same old stuff. Rabbi had no
 ticket (he forgot to buy it). Guy threw
 him off the train, rabbi died. Guy was
 arrested, convicted, sentenced to death
 by electrocution. When the guard asked
 him what he would like for a last meal,
 he asked for a banana. He ate it,
 received last rights, and was escorted
 to the chamber. However, this time the
 officials where going to get it right!
 They scrubbed his body with a brillo
 pad. They scrubbed the chair with steel
 wool. They tried the chair on a few
 other prisoners...  Okay, they strapped
 him in, and threw the switch once,
 nothing happened. Threw the switch a
 second time, nothing happened. At this
 point the guy was legally dead, etc,
 etc. But, before the guy could leave,
 the executioner, extremely frustrated
 (he'd seen this same guy three times
 already). asked, "What is it with the
 banana!"
 
 The guy replied, "I just like bananas."
 
 So, the executioner screamed, "Then how
 come you don't die!!!!!"
 
 "I dunno," replied the guy, "I guess I'm
 just not a very good conductor."
