The Red Banana

There once was a boy named little Johnny. Little Johnny loved trains. All he ever wanted to do was play with trains when he was younger and from the age of 8 all he wanted to do when he grew up was become a train conductor. So Little Johnny studied all through grade school and high school and eventually got into the best train conductor university in all the land. Little Johnny graduated that university with flying colors and took a job with the most presitigious train company out there. Now that he was all grown up little johnny was called John, and John loved his job. He loved saying “all aboard”, he loved talking to the passengers asking what stop there were getting off at and hearing why, and he loved driving the train, his train.
But one day Johnny snapped, he realized that his whole life he was just driving this train back and forth on the same railroad track, the same destinations, with the same people. He was so disappointed with the monotony that he blew right through a break light at a station and SMASHED into a school bus full of kids. Backpacks flying, pencils, paper everywhere, 19 kids are injured and 3 kids killed. Now the local government couldn’t stand for this; and John was convicted to the electric chair. It is common knowledge that before you go to the electric chair you are allowed one meal, and you have to be given it.
So john, being the smartass he is asks for a Red Banana from the deepest darkest corner of West Africa. So the hail sends 3 men to west Africa and after a week of searching finally procure this red banana, but on the way back one gets Ebola, the other malaria, luckily the 3rd is unscathed. Now the warden is really pissed so he throws john the red banana, who eats it ferociously, and they douse him with water, attach the head gear, strap him into the electric chair and with a smile the warden flips the switch.
Nothing happens. The warden angrily tries it again, nothing.One more time he flips the switch. Again nothing.
So because of a loophole in the law books if the electric chair does not work then you have to let the guy go. They let John go and the warden, mystified, asks him what was in the red banana that made the electric chair not work?” to which John replies “nothing, I’m just a bad conductor”
