Some time back, there was a bus conductor who was pretty rude with the passengers every day. On a fine morning, a beautiful young lady tried to board the bus. But the conductor did not stop the bus. The lady was run over by the bus and was killed right on the spot. The passengers became quite angry with the conductor and took him to the nearest police station. At the police station, the police looked after the case and decided to throw him in the court for trial. The judge was very angry with the conductor and sentenced him to death by electrocution.

The conductor was taken to the electrocution chamber. In that room, there was a chair in the center of the room. There was also a banana peel in one corner of the room. The conductor looked at it as he was strapped to the chair. Then, he was exposed to a high voltage current. But everyone was shocked as he survived it. Since it was impossible, the judge thought it was a miracle and allowed him freedom.

The bus conductor returned back to his profession. After a few months, a middle aged lady tried to board the bus. The conductor did not stop the bus and as a result, she was run over and died instantly. The passengers were agitated. They took him to the nearest police station. The police took him again to the court. In the court, the judge became very angry seeing him again. He sentenced him to death again.

He was again taken to the electrocution chamber, where a seat sat in the center of the room and a banana peel lied in one corner. The conductor looked at the banana peel while he was strapped to the chair. He was then exposed to a high voltage current. But he was able to survive yet again. Everyone was surprised and shocked again. He was granted freedom again by a surprised judge. Taking this as a lesson, the conductor decides to become a good person.

He returns back to his profession. After a few days, an old aged lady tries to board the bus. The conductor stops the bus for him but the lady slips while boarding and is killed by the injuries. The passengers take him back to the police who takes him to the court again. The judge after listening to the case knows that he is innocent in this particular case. But seeing his previous record, he sentences him to death.

He is again taken to the electrocution chamber with the same chair in the center and the same banana peel in one corner of the room. He is strapped to the chair and exposed to a high voltage current. Everyone is surprised as this time, the conductor is killed.

Why did he die this time while he survived the previous two times?
