Quote:The French revolution is winding down, and to celebrate, the French bring three high profile prisoners from the Bastile for public execution.
Now, according to the law, if there is a malfunction of the guillotine, it is seen as divine intervention by God, and the prisoner is to be released and pardoned.
The first prisoner is a doctor who provided care and comfort for the enemies of the state. He prays to God, asks for ‘his’ forgiveness, and places his head in the cradle. The executioner looses the blade which comes whizzing down toward the prisoners head....and stops inches from his neck. God has saved him! He thanks God for the pardon and is left to go free.
The second prisoner is a lawyer who helped to inteprete laws in ways that would be favorable to the enemies of the state. He approaches the guillotine, says his prayers and lays his head down. Again the executioner looses the blade, and again it stops inches from the neck of it’s intended victim. the Lawyer gets up, thanks God and is release to go on his way.
The last prisoner is an engineer, who helped to design war machines for enemies of the new state. He walks confidently over to the guillotine, looks up, points and says, ‘I know why it is the other two didn't die ... there's a knot in the rope just there ........"
