4 men are condemned to die by Guillotine 2 are UM grads and 2 are OSU alum.

After being chosen in random order the first man lies down with his head in place and the blade comes down and stops inches from his head. Since he was spared, the executioner motions for him to leave. The 2nd UM grad gets in and the same thing happens. He too gets to go, his life spared.

Seeing the debacle before him one of the OSU grads says, "Obviously its not working right, but I'm an engineer, and I know how to fix that."
