A joke about trains
There was once a boy who loved trains. His parents loved him too, so they let him have his dream job, a conductor. He would spend all day and all night looking at trains. He was 18 and he needed a job. He saw that his dream job was hiring, so he applied to conductor school. He learned all about everything in a train. He studied day and night to pass the final exams. He had studied for a full day straight, and went to take the test. He finished the test in an hour, the fastest it has ever been completed. The next week he got his test back. He had failed. All his hopes and dreams were gone, so he went to his teacher and asked her how he could become a conductor. She said he could retake the test next year. So the boy studied and studied day and night just to pass the test. It was exam day, and he took the test. He set the record again for completing the test in an astonishing 45 minutes. He failed. He became really depressed and he asked the teacher again. His hopes quickly ignited when he heard her say he could retake it one last time next year. The boy studied and studied for as long as he could. It was time to take the test again. He managed to break the record again completing it in 30 minutes. The next week, he failed. He was so depressed. When he left, he saw a train parked at a station. He quickly jumped into the control room and started to drive again. He crashed the train and everybody but him died. He was arrested and was sentenced to the death penalty. The guard at the prison asked him what he wanted for his last meal before he was executed. He said he wanted the copper apple from the depths of the Amazon river. The prison sent out the best explorers to find the apple. They brought it back to him, and he ate it. He said, "Wow! This is the best apple I have ever had!" It was time for his execution. They strapped him into the chair and pulled the switch. Nothing happened. They raised the power, and still nothing happened. They told him he would be executed another day. They day of his execution, he asked for the jade apple of the depths of the Gobi desert. The same explorers went to find the apple, and they found it. They gave it to him and he ate it. He again loved the apple so much. They strapped him in again and flipped the switch. Nothing happened. They told him they would do it tomorrow and he asked for the crystal apple from the sewers of NYC. The explorers found the apple and gave it to him. He said it was the best apple he had ever had and there was no way of changing that. They strapped him in once again and flipped the switch. It was at it's highest capacity. Once again, nothing. They asked what was wrong. He said, "Well, I guess I'm just a bad conductor."
