rest of the engineer nyuk, nyuk please

Speaking of engineers, did you hear the one about the engineer who was
apprehended in the French Revolution?

 It's the French Revolution and they're doing the usual beheadings.

 Today they're leading a priest, a drunkard and an engineer up to the
 guillotine.

 They ask the priest if he wants to face up or down when he meets his
 fate.  The priest says that he would like to face up so he will be
 looking toward heaven when he dies.  They raise the blade of the
 guillotine, release it, it comes speeding down and suddenly stops just
 inches from his neck.  They 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, it comes speeding down and suddenly
 stops just inches from his neck.  So they release the drunkard as well.

 The engineer is next.  He too decides to die facing up.  They raise the
 blade of the guillotine and suddenly the engineer says "Hey, I see what
 your problem is."
