Daily Joke: A Doctor, Lawyer, and Engineer Are Captured and Awaiting Their Turn for Execution

After three professionals, a doctor, lawyer, and an engineer, visited Afghanistan, they were captured by an extremist group and were made to wait in line for execution.

The Taliban wanted to chop off the heads of the infidels, so they bound them in rope to limit their movements. To test their guillotine prior to the executions, the Taliban used a goat. The creature cried loudly as it was forced to hold still, and "wham!" Its head went off.

Ready to conduct the executions, the group brought out the doctor first and asked him for any last words that could act as his saving grace. The medical professional said, "Why kill me? I'm a doctor. I can treat your sick and injured."

But without much hesitation, the mullah ordered for his head to be cut off. The doctor was positioned under the guillotine as the crowd cheered.

But when the executioner released the rope to allow the blade to drop, nothing happened. At this, the Taliban all cried out for the man to be spared, agreeing that sparing his life was the will of God.

The next man, the lawyer, was brought forth and as soon as they motioned to kill him, he yelled, "I'm a lawyer, I can represent your cause before the world court!"

But the executioner proceeded to jerk the instrument of death, but still, nothing happened. Like the doctor, the Taliban decided to spare the lawyer, believing it was the will of God too.

Man number three, the engineer, was kept in the guillotine, but before they touched the lanyard, he explained why his life should not be cut short.

He said, "There is a burr that stops the latch lever every other pull. Gimme a file, and I could dress it off."

That is certainly not enough laugh for such a sunny day, so read on for more laughs on execution jokes!

AN EXECUTIONER AND HIS PRISONER

An executioner was pumped up and ready to kill a prisoner when he decided to ask, "Any last words?"

The prisoner said, "I beg your pardon."

So the executioner repeated himself and asked, "Any last words?"

The prisoner responded, "I beg your pardon."

The executioner once again asked, "Any last words?" to which the prisoner still responded, "I beg your pardon."

This back and forth went on until finally, on the sixth attempt, the executioner asked, "Any last words?"

The prisoner replied, with all his heart's desire, "I beg your pardon."

A PRISONER IN LINE FOR A BEATING

A young man was arrested and brutally beaten for having a voice—speaking against the societal ills. The activist was never jailed or executed. Instead, the executioners beat him with their fists.

One day, after his arrest, he was made to stand in line with other activists. They were to be punched in their faces. Before his turn, he solemnly thought, "I guess this is the punchline."
