I like trains

this reminds me of a joke.so theres this bulgarian guy right? loves trains, hasloved trains since he was a kid. one day, thebulgarian railroad association hires him to be thedriver of one of their trains.he is ECSTATIC! our train boy is so excited, in fact,that on his first day driving, he... derails the trainand kills one person.this, of course, gets him the death penalty.(bulgarian law is weird.) as he's sitting in theelectric chair, the executor asks him what hewants for his last meal."One banana."the executor finds this odd, but gives him hisbanana, and when he finishes, the executor strapshim in.she pulls the switch, and....nothing. the guy lives, and is let free. bulgarian lawis, as stated previously, pretty weird, and ifsomeone survives the electric chair it is deemedand Act of God and the criminal is set free.considering the bulgarian railroad association isdesperate for employees, our guy is hired onceagain, and is driving the next day. as you canprobably assume, he is exceedingly nervous, anddue to this.... he crashes the train again. this time,two people die.hes sent back to the execution chamber, asobviously, killing two people requires the deathpenalty as well. the executor scratches her head,scoffs, and says, "Well, uh... welcome back? Whatdo you want for your actual last meal?""Two bananas."she sighs, and gives him his bananas. he eatsthem, is strapped in, and the executor pulls theswitch to--nothing. the chair buzzes, but the man is fine.once again, he is let free, and once again, hesback on the train the next day.now he is REALLY careful. like, incredibly careful.whenever the train is stopped, he reads thehandbook. never gets distracted, takes extracoffee... he's really doing his best.well, that is until he sneezes, knocks over hisscalding hot coffee onto his foot, and crashes thetrain again, kilking THREE people this time.off he goes to the executioner, and she is a littlemore than peeved. she sits him down, and sayssternly, "l swear to God, if you ask for threebananas, I will strap you in without your meal."without hesitation- "Three bananas."the executioner roars in anger, straps the man in,and slams the switch down, finally ready to finishthis weirdo off....nothing. once again, the chair activates, but theman is fine.this, of course, just confuses her. she fumblesover her words, asking the man why he didn't die ifhe didn't have his bananas. it just didnt makesense!the man replied, "Oh, the bananas had nothing todo with it. I'm just an awful conductor."
