一个牧师、一个酒鬼和一个工程师被带到断头台上。 行刑者问牧师送命时脸朝上还是脸朝下。牧师说他想脸朝上，死时可以看着天国。他们升起铡刀，松手。铡刀加速下落，就在离他脖子几英寸的地方突然停了下来。法官们认为这是上帝的旨意，就把牧师释放了。 酒鬼第二个来到断头台上。他也决定要脸朝上去死，希望他也能像牧师一样获释。他们抬起铡刀，松手。铡刀加速下落，就在离他脖子几英寸的地方突然又停了下来。所以、他们也把酒鬼放了。 下一个是工程师。他也决定脸朝上去死。他们慢慢地举起铡刀，这时工程师说道: “嗨！我想我知道问题出在哪儿了！” Off with Their Head A priest, a drunkard, and an engineer are led to the guillotine. They ask the priest if he wants to face up or down when he meets his fate. The Driest 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. The authorities take this as divine intervention and release the Driest. Next the drunkard comes to the guillotine. He also decides to die face up, hoping that he will be as the priest. They raise the blade of the guillotine, release it, it ccmes speeding down, and again 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 think I see what your problem is！” |
