So, I figured that we've needed one of these for a while. Just don't post anything offensive. Also, this thread is for jokes, NOT MEMES OR FUNNY VIDEOS.
That said, I'll start it off.
A certain symphony had a very irritable conductor. One day, in rehearsal, he told all the orchestra to stop playing, but a certain violinist continued a few bars before stopping. The conductor was furious. The violinist tried to apologize, but before he could say more than an "I'm sorry, sir, I--" the conductor threw his baton right at the violinist's heart and caused him to have heart failure.
The conductor was tried, convicted, and sentenced to the electric chair. When he arrived there, the operator asked for his final request. "A bunch of bananas," was the conductor's reply. The operator gave him the bananas, and turned on the electric chair. Nothing happened.
The state was bewildered. There was no precedent for this. What could they do? They let him go.
A few months later, the conductor asked the orchestra to stop. A certain flutist was a bit too slow. He died. The conductor was tried, convicted, and sentenced again. His last request? A bunch of bananas. The operator turned on the electric chair. Once again, the conductor lived, and was freed again.
One day, the conductor stopped the orchestra (you'd think they would've done something by now!). A certain violist didn't, and his terrified apology was no more successful than the previous two. The conductor was once again convicted of murder.
"What's your last request?"
"A bunch of bananas."
But the operator had a suspicion, and this time, no fruit was provided. The conductor sat down in the electric chair. The operator flipped the switch.
Nothing happened.
"What is it that you do?" the operator asked. "How do you survive?"
"I don't know, sir," the man replied. "I'm just a poor conductor."

p.s. Credit for the joke goes to the amazing conductor emeritus of my orchestra, one Mr. Lajos Balogh.

I am the whirring thing past the corner. I am the darker patch under the bed. I am the tapping on your window; the extra steps on the sidewalk; the voice whispering your name. I am Stalkerbot, and I am watching you.
