Guillotine is released but it stops halfway. According to the rules, if the guillotine doesn't work, he can leave unharmed.

Second guy (german) comes up and is asked the same question.

He says "I would do it again". Same thing guillotine falls but stops short. He is free to go.



Third guy (Canadian) is put in the guillotine and asked if he has any last words.

"You know, if you put a little grease in those grooves it might work better".
