Home - G - Guillotine Jokes

During the French Revolution a Frenchman, an Englishman and an Irishman were condemned to the guillotine.

The Frenchman was called first and he very calmly put his head on the block. The executioner released the blade, but halfway down it stuck. The tradition in France was that if this happened, the condemned man was set free. So the Frenchman was saved.

The Englishman laid his head on the block and the executioner released the blade. The same thing happened and the Englishman was set free.

The Irishman was led from the cart kicking and screaming. "I'm not going near that thing until you get it fixed!"
