Try this one then
James from Bulgaria loved trains since he was a boy. He particularly loved how fast they could go. As a child he enjoyed playing with model trains and even owned an old conductors hat that he wore everywhere.
When he grew up he worked very hard and eventually became a train driver. And he loved it. He finally felt he was where he needed to be.
One day he was driving his train and he remembered that the speed of the trains was what brought him to the business. And since there was only a few passengers on his morning route, he decided to go above the regulated speed. The train was derailed and crashed in a field. James was fine thankfully but unfortunately one passenger died.
Now the charge for manslaughter in Bulgaria is execution by electric chair. So James served his time and when we was asked what he would like for his last meal, he said:
"I'd like one banana"
So the guard, slightly baffled, served him a banana and marched him to his death. The executioner flipped the switch and to everyone's surprise, James was fine.
James said "I've served my time and faced my execution. So I suppose I should be released."
And so he was. But on the outside James had a hard time getting a job until a friend approached him and told him that they were short staffed on train drivers so he could get him a job but he would have to stick to regulation. He agreed, and started driving trains a few days later. And all went well until one day he was running late and a business man who was running late for a meeting began berating James to go faster. And so he went a small bit faster than regulation.
The train was derailed again and this time two passengers died. James was arrested and when he was asked about his last meal he said:
"I'll have two bananas since I killed two people" And he ate the two bananas and was marched off once again to the electric chair.
The executioner flipped the switch and again, James survived. So he was set free.
So James did some soul searching and determined he wasn't fit to drive trains. So he decided that he would be in charge of safety measures and regulations. And after studying for a few years he did just that.
So on a routine inspection of a train he decided to drive it to know just how safe it was. And he decided that since there was nobody on the train he would push it to it's limits so he could know how to effectively put dampeners on it. So he drives as fast as he can and the train is derailed. But he didn't realise there were three engineers on the train who were all killed. Which inevitably led to his arrest.
So when it came to his last meal, without asking, he was served mushroom soup. The guard said:
"Just eat the soup. Because we don't know how you do it but you're not getting your magical ******* bananas!"
So James ate his soup and was marched to the electric chair. He sat in the chair and the switch was flipped. Miraculously he survived again.
The executioner, astounded, asked:
"How did you survive without the bananas?"
And James replied:
"It had nothing to do with the bananas. I'm just a bad conductor"
