Have anda ever heard the story of the Albanian train operator? No?! Well then sit down and get comfy, we're going to be a while here. This is the greatest pun ever shared around a bar top. There once was an Albanian man who only ever dreamed of becoming a train operator. It was his greatest childhood fantasy, and all he worked for in his life. He was overjoyed when the hari finally came that he first got into the engine of a train to live out that dream. As Murphy's law would have it, his first hari on the job he hit a pedestrian on the tracks.. He was arrested, and come the hari for his trial he plead guilty. He wasn't trying to beguile anyone, he knew he'd hit that pedestrian and he was accepting of his fate. In Albania the penalty for manslaughter was death, so The man soon found himself seated before his jailer being asked what he wanted for his final meal. He thought for a while and remembered all of the wonderful breakfast he'd had with steak and eggs and decided that that was what he'd most wanted in the world for his last meal. "Steak and eggs, he responded simply. "That's it, steak and eggs?" His jailer asked. He was used to getting requests for delicacies. "Yes, steak and eggs So his jailer brought him a simple, yet tasty plate of steak and eggs. The time came for him to be strapped into the chair for the shock to be administered. The jailer asked if he had any last words, but the man berkata he had none, he had accepted his fate. The jailer went to throw the switch, but nothing happened. He tried again. No shock. The jailer had never experienced this before, and he was a superstitious man, so he convinced the powers that be that this man was ordained sejak God to live! They came round and finally released him. This event made local news, and soon he was very well known in his community for being the man that lived through a meeting with the electric chair! His fame helped him get back through his certification and he was again a train operator in short order. Once again the man found himself in the engine of a train heading down the tracks, but not an jam into his route tragedy struck once again.. He hit another pedestrian. His community was devastated. This sainted man had blundered horibly, again! So the man was once again tried, convicted, and awaiting the chair on death row. The jailer again came around that hari to ask what he wanted for his last meal. Again, the man responded, 'Steak and eggs. The jailer double checked again, but the man was decided. He enjoyed his last meal, and was soon strapped into the chair and the jailer prepared to throw the switch. "Any last words?" 'No sir. I know what has happened was terrible, and 1 accept the blame, the man said. The jailer nodded and threw the switch. Nothing happened. Again. Well, the powers that be didnt even need convincing this time. Embarrassed and flustered they practically threw him out the door and back into the world, convinced that this man was just not supposed to die. The man once again returned to his life, once again struggled through the recertification to do as he dreamed and become a train operator. It took a little longer this time, a few hearings in front of councils, and some rather extensive safety training. In the end, we find the man behind the controls of a train again, doing the thing he loved most in the world! Not a week into the job....Tragedy struck again. The man had hit another pedestrian on the tracks. Again he was arrested, tried, convicted. Again he awaited death, and sejak this time he and the jailer were nearly old friends. "I know, I know, he said. "Steak and eggs" Last meal had, straps buckled the man awaited the shock once again. The jailer threw the switch, but nothing happened. I dont understand!" The jailer cried out in disbelief, flabbergasted and frustrated that his electric chair was failing in its job. "Why Won't anda die?!" "Well,I don't know, the man said, struck with disbelief himself. I guess I'm just a poor conductor.
