a joke for the engineers out there...
A preacher, a politician and an engineer were led to the guillotine. The preacher was asked if he wanted to be face up or face down when he met his fate. The preacher said that he would like to lie face up so he would be looking toward heaven when he died. The blade of the guillotine was raised and released. It came speeding down and suddenly stopped, just inches from his neck. The authorities took this as divine intervention and released the preacher.

Next, the politician came to the guillotine, and he also decided to die facing up, hoping he would be as fortunate as the preacher. So the blade of the guillotine was raised again and released. It came speeding down and suddenly stopped just inches from his neck, so he was released as well.

The engineer was next, and he too decided to die facing up. The executioner slowly raised the blade of the guillotine, when suddenly the engineer said, "Hey, I see what the problem is ..."

The problem was probably lubrication related. Perhaps the mechanisim was sticking due to insuffent / improper lubricant used on the slide. I'm sure some of the fine products provided by the supporters of bobistheoilguy.com could have solved the problem. Of course with the mechanisim in proper working order, the engineer would have been executed. Hey! Wait a minute! Now I get it!
