Story: Talented Engineer
The authorities were leading a priest, a drunkard and an engineer to the guillotine.
They asked the priest if he wanted to face up or down when he meets his fate.
The priest said that he would like to face up so that he will be looking toward heaven when he dies.
So, they raise the blade of the guillotine, release it and it comes speeding down and suddenly stops just inches from his neck.
The authorities take this as divine intervention and release the priest.
Next the drunkard comes to the guillotine.
He also decides to die face up hoping that he will be as fortunate as the priest.
They raise the blade of the guillotine, release it and it comes speeding down and suddenly stops just inches from his neck.
So, the authorities release the drunkard as well.
Next is the engineer.
He also decides to die facing up.
They slowly raise the blade of the guillotine when suddenly the engineer shouts,
“WAIT!!!… I think the problem is right there where the cable is binding!!!”
Science requires telling the truth despite everything!!!
