WAZ: Newton's laws
For the definitive answer, check out:

The above site applies Newton's laws to airplanes instead of bicycles. You'd think
at least ONE physicist would have put together a website applying Newton's laws to
bikes...after all, bikes were invented before airplanes, right?
On that note:
A priest, a drunkard and a physicist were condemned to die by the guillotine. The
priest is led up to the guillotine and is asked if he prefers to be facing up or
down. He replies "I would like my last earthly sight to be of heaven". The
executioner than fastens him in face up and releases the guillotine blade. It
falls, but stops just within an inch of his throat. "A miracle!" the crowd of
spectators shout in unison, and the priest is released unharmed.
Next, the drunkard is led up the steps and he is asked if he prefers to face up or
down. "Upward", he replied, "so that I can drink, one last time, some good wine you
pour down my throat!" After the drunkard is given a drink, the huge blade is
released and plummets downward, but stops within an inch of his throat. "Mon dieu!
A second miracle!" the crowd cheers, and he is released unharmed.
Finally, the physicist is led up to be executed. He also chooses to be shackled to
the guillotine faceup. The crowd is placing bets left and right about whether a
third miracle will take place. As he lies faceup, he ponders the death apparatus
above him. Raising his hand, moments before the executioner releases the blade, the
physicist declares, "Wait, wait! ... I see what your problem is!"
