This bloke is working on the buses and collecting tickets. He

rings the bell for the driver to start off when there's a

woman half getting on the bus. The driver sets off; the woman

falls from the bus and is killed. At the trial the bloke is

sent down for murder, and seeing as it's Texas, he's sent to

the electric chair.

On the day of his execution he's in the chair and the

executioner grants him a final wish.

"Well," says the man, "is that your packed lunch over there?"

"Yes," answers the executioner.

"Can I have that green banana?"

The executioner gives the man his green banana and waits ‘til

he's eaten it. When the man's finished, the executioner flips

the switch, sending hundreds of volts through the man. When

the smoke clears, the man is still alive. The executioner

can't believe it.

"Can I go?" the man asks.

"I suppose so," says the executioner, "That's never happened

before."

The man leaves and eventually gets his job back on the buses

selling tickets. Yet again he rings the bell for the driver to

go when people are still getting on. A man falls under the

wheels and is killed. The bloke is convicted for murder again

and sent to the electric chair. The executioner is determined

to do it right this time, so rigs the chair up to the electric

supply for the whole of Texas. The bloke is again sat in the

chair.

"What is your final wish?" asks the executioner.

"Can I have that green banana in your packed lunch?" says the

condemned man.

The executioner sighs and reluctantly gives up his banana.

The bloke eats the banana all up and the executioner flips the

switch. Millions of volts course through the chair, blacking

out Texas. When the smoke clears, the man is still there,

smiling in the chair. The executioner can't believe it and

lets the man go.

The bloke gets his job back on the buses. Once again he rings

the bell while passengers are still getting on, this time

killing three of them. He is sent to the electric chair again.

The executioner rigs up extra electricity to the chair,

determined to get his man this time. The man sits down in

the chair smiling.

"What's your final wish?" asks the executioner.

"Well," says the man, "can I have that green banana out of

your packed lunch?"

The executioner hands over his banana and the man eats it. The

executioner pulls the handle and the volts go through the chair.

When the smoke rises the man is still sat there alive without

even a burn mark.

"I give up," says the executioner, "I don't understand how you

can still be alive after all that!"

He strokes his chin. "It's something to do with that green

banana isn't it?" he asks.

"Nah," says the bloke, "I'm just a bad conductor."
