When the three men were marched to the chopping block, the dictator asked the first man if he had any last words before his head was chopped off. The man answered, "The only thing I can say is that I'm an alumni of the University of Nebraska and we have the best football players in the world." The dictator laughed and said, "Off with his head."
They pulled the rope and the blade fell, but it stopped short a few inches above the man's neck. The dictator announced, "This is an obvious omen from God, we cannot execute you -you are free to go!"
The dictator then asked the second man if he had any last words before they chopped his head off. The man said, "The only thing I can say is that I'm an alumni of University of Kansas, and we have the best basketball players in the world." The dictator laughed and said, "Off with his head."
They once again pulled the rope and the blade fell, but it again stopped short a few inches above the man's neck. The dictator announced, "This is an obvious omen from God, we cannot execute you - you are free to go!"
Finally, the dictator asked the third man if he had any last words before his head was chopped off. The man thought for a moment and said, "Well, Mr. Dictator, I'm an alumni of the University of Missouri at Rolla, we have the best Engineers in the world...and if you'd just tighten the top bolt up there, this machine would work perfectly!"
