Guillotine

Three men stood on the platform waiting their turn to be beheaded by guillotine: a priest, a lawyer and an engineer.
The priest was taken to the block first and when asked if he wanted to face up or down, he said he wanted to face up to see God when the blade struck. He was placed on the block with his face up as requested and the huge blade was dropped, but the blade stopped an inch above his neck! The crowd gasped. It was considered a sign of his innocence and he was freed.
The lawyer was then led to the block and asked the same question. He said he wanted to face down to see where he was going when the blade struck. He was placed on the block with his face down and the huge blade was dropped, but again it stopped an inch above his neck! The crowd gasped! As before, this was considered a sign of his innocence and he was freed.
When the engineer was led to the block and asked which way he wanted to face, he said he wanted to face up, so he was placed on the block with his face up looking at the blade and scaffolding holding it. Seconds before the blade dropped, he turned his head toward the executioner and said, "STOP! I think I see what the problem is."
