He graduated top of his class in train school, and was hired by the most prestigious train company to conduct their new Super Train. This train could carry 1,000 passengers and was very expensive to manufacture.
Yet little Timmy had one fatal flaw. He has a very short attention span.
It just so happened that one day when Timmy was driving the train near a very sharp turn that required him to decrease the trains speed, a butterfly flew across the window.
Distracted, Timmy forgot to decrease the trains speed and ended up running it off the tracks, killing everybody inside expect for himself.
In the strange country that Timmy lives in, the punishment for killing a lot of people with a train is death by electric chair.
So the day comes when the executioner approaches Timmy in jail and asks what he wants for his last meal.
Timmy thinks for a minute, and then responds to the executioner by asking for a single banana.
The executioner thinks this is a stupid request, but grants Timmy’s wish anyways. He gives him a single banana, which Timmy eats in 3 bites.
The executioner straps Timmy into the electric chair and pulls down the lever to start the flow of electricity.
When the smoke clears, the executioner in shocked to see Timmy still alive, sitting in the electric chair!
Another strange law in the county Timmy lives in is if you survive the execution by electric chair, you get to walk away as a free man.
Timmy was distraught about loosing his job as a train conductor. It just so happened that the same prestigious train company was desperate for a qualified conductor to operate their new Mega Train.
They hired Timmy back to his old job.
Timmy was driving the train in the exact spot where his previous accident occurred, when another butterfly flew across his window...
So Timmy’s back in the jail cell when the executioner asks for his last meal (again).
Timmy thinks for a minute, and asks for two bananas this time.
A bit suspicious, the executioner brings him his bananas which Timmy eats in 3 bites each.
Timmy was strapped into the chair, and the lever was pulled, but when the smoke settled, he still wasn’t dead!
Again, Timmy walks free.
Again, the train company hires him back to drive their new Ultra Train.
Again, Timmy is conducting the train in the spot where the previous accidents had occurred.
Again, a butterfly flew across the window...
So Timmy’s about to be executed for the third time when the executioner approaches him. He states that Timmy won’t be given a last meal this time, so there would be no way he could eat his bananas.
Timmy is strapped into the electric chair and the executioner pulls the lever.
The look on the executioners face after he realized Timmy still hadn’t died was priceless.
“How are you still alive?” Demanded the executioner, “I didn’t give you any bananas this time!”
Timmy replies, “It’s not the bananas. I’m just a bad conductor.”
