My best joke to date
A ticket inspector is judged guilty of murder when, in the course of his duties, he ejects from a moving train a passenger who had misplaced their ticket. He is sentenced to death by electrocution.
The electric chair fails to kill him. After an inspection for sabotage, his survival is deemed miraculous, and his sentence commuted to ten years in prison.
In prison, the former ticket inspector develops an interest in music, and upon his release becomes an orchestra director. His violent tendencies and draconian fervor have not been mellowed by his incarceration, however, and lead him to murder a particularly flatulent violinist via thrown baton.
He is again tried, sentenced, and electrocuted - and he again survives. In light of his history, however, the murder charge sticks. As he lies in bed awaiting his new sentence, he hears gunfire outside, and an armed man barges into his cell.
"You are the infamous Bad Conductor, yes?"
"Yes."
"We want you to join the Resistance."
