Techincal Difficulties
======================

   In a foreign country a priest, a lawyer and an engineer are all
about to be guillotined.  The priest puts his head on the block, they
pull the rope and nothing happens -- he declares that he's been saved
by divine intervention -- so he's let go.  The lawyer is put on the
block, and again the rope doesn't release the blade, he claims he
can't be executed twice for the same crime and he is set free too.

   They grab the engineer and shove his head into the guillotine, he
looks up at the release mechanism and says, "Oh, wait a minute, I see
your problem . . . "
