The Guillotine

It's the time of the French Revolution and they're doing their usual
daily beheadings.

Today they're leading a priest, a prostitute and an engineer up to the
guillotine. They ask the priest if he wants to be face up or face down
when he meets his fate. The priest says that he would like to be face up
so he will be looking toward heaven when he dies.

They raise the blade of the guillotine, release it, it comes speeding
down and suddenly stops just inches from his neck. Being devoutly
religious, they take this as divine intervention and release the priest.

Next the prostitute comes to the guillotine. She also decides to die
face up hoping that she will be as fortunate as the priest.

They raise the blade of the guillotine, release it, it comes speeding
down and suddenly stops just inches from her neck. So they release the
prostitute as well.

The engineer is next. He too decides to die facing up.

They raise the blade of the guillotine and suddenly the engineer cries
out: "Hey, I see what your problem is!"
