During the French Revolution, there are 3 professionals who are facing the blood hungry Guillotine. A priest, a lawyer and a physicist are facing their death on the chopping board of death.

The executioner first called the priest to take his stand and asked what will be his last words before he dies, the priest said; "May God bless me when I get to heaven.". After his last words, the executioner places his neck into wooden bar below the guillotine and the blade dropped, but it stopped before it even cuts the priest's head. The crowd was shocked, and moments after they celebrate, the people said: "Let's celebrate this day, for it is God who saved this man from certain death."

After the priest was saved from beheading, the executioner called the second person who will take the blade, the lawyer. The executioner asked the same question that he asked to the priest, and the lawyer replied: "May justice bestow and save me.". The executioner escorted the lawyer to take his head into the chopping block, then dropped the blade again, but such a co-incidence, it stopped before it cuts the head of the lawyer. Again the crowd's jaw dropped and celebrated, exclaiming: "Let's celebrate this day, for it is Justice who saved this man!"

The last one on the block is the physicist. The executioner lead him to the guillotine and asked him what his final words are. Then the physicist replied in a very mild manner: "I do not believe in God, and I don't know much about the law. But one thing I am certain of, the rope that is holding the blade is tied up, that is why it didn't fall thoroughly." The crowd looked up to the rope and saw it was tied, and just stared at it, like a bunch of idiots.

That's all folks....

It's the French Revolution and beheadings are proceeding as usual...
Today they're leading a priest, a drunkard, and an engineer up to the
guillotine. They ask the priest if he wants to be face up or 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. They take this as divine intervention and release the priest.

Next the drunkard comes to the guillotine. He also decides to die face up
hoping that he 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 his neck. So they release the drunkard as well.

The engineer is next. He, too, decides to die facing up. They raise the
blade of the guillotine and suddenly the engineer says "Hey! I see what your
problem is."
