An American, a German, and a Pollack were all scheduled to be executed by guillotine. The American was first up and the executioner asked him how he would like to be facing when the blade came down. The American responded, I'd like to be facing the ground so I don't have to see the blade. The executioner places him in position and pulls the lever to release the blade. Nothing happens.
The executioner says since the blade didnt drop, you are free to go.
Next up is the German. The executioner asks which way he'd like to be facing and the German replies on his side so he can see the crowd. The executioner places him under the guillotine and pulls the lever.
Once again, nothing happens.
The executioner lets the German go since the blade didn't drop.
Lastly the Pollack steps up. The executioner once again asks, which position he'd like to face. The Pollack decides to face up so he can see his fate. As the executioner pulls the lever, the Pollack exclaims, "Hey, I think I see the problem!!"
