Question & answer
Why did the man driving a train get struck by lightning?
He was a good conductor.
Behind the Groan
Two Kinds of Conductor
A train conductor is a crew member responsible for the train and its passengers, though the person driving is more precisely the engineer. In science, a conductor is a material through which electricity moves easily. The lightning clue activates that second meaning. Tell the setup briskly and pause before “good conductor.” The occupational term first sounds like praise, then becomes the reason electricity reached him.
