The Green Banana
This bloke is working on
the buses and collecting tickets. He rings the bell for
the driver to set 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 sat 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 man asks.
The executioner gives the
man his green banana and waits until he's eaten it.
When the man's finished,
the executioner flips the switch sending hundreds of
thousands 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.
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 sent down 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.
Well, would you believe,
the bloke gets his job back on the buses. Once again
he rings the bell whilst
passengers are still getting on, this time killing three of
them. He is sent to the
electric chair again.
The executioner rigs up all
the electricity in America 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 all, skin included.
The executioner then pulls
the handle and a zillion million trillion 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 stroked his chin. "It's
something to do with that green banana isn't it?" he
asked.
"Nahh" said the bloke,"...I'm just a really bad conductor."
