Joke of the day ...

After the revolution, a priest, a lawyer, and an engineer are lined up for the guillotine.

The executioner tells the priest he can choose whether her wants to face up or down when he's killed.

The priest says he wants to be facing God when he dies, so he lies down face-up. The executioner pulls the lever, the blade comes down three feet, and then stops.

The astonished mob decides that this is an act of divine intervention, and spares the holy man.

Next is the Lawyer; he's given the same ultimatum. Looking to seize any and all possible outs, the lawyer chooses to face upwards too. Sure enough, the blade comes down three feet, and stops.

The crowd decides the lawyer must be holy too, so he's let go.

Figuring what worked for the last two will probably work for him, the engineer opts to face up as well. Just before the executioner pulls the lever, the engineer yells "WAIT! I see where it's getting stuck!"
