 Subject:     Another engineer joke

 Attachment:  1) UNIX File: ORIGINAL.HEADER - 560 bytes  

There was another revolution in France and they decided to get rid of all 
sorts of suspicious characters.  Today they're leading a priest, a drunkard 
and an engineer to the guillotine.  They ask the priest if he wants to face 
up or down when he meets his  fate.

The priest says that he would like to face up so he will be looking towards 
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.  The 
authorities  take this as a sign of 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 slowly raise 
the blade of the guillotine, when suddenly the engineer says: "Hey, I see 
what your problem is".
