Summary

Subject:     The Priest, the Drunkard and the Engineer (fwd)


> It's the French Revolution and they're doing the usual beheadings.
> 
> 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 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."
