Three spys were captured during a campaign, and they were sentenced to die.

The three were bought out to the guillotine and asked who would be first.

The British spy said he would be first.  They asked if he had any last words, to which he said, "God save the queen."

They put his head in the block and pulled the release, but the blade came done and stopped about six inches from his neck.  

The executioner said that the law stated that he had to pull the cord but once so this meant that he must be innocent and that the man was free to go.

The second spy was brought up.  He was from France and when asked if he had any final words he replied, "Vive la France!"

They put him in the block and pulled the release and the blade dropped but again it stopped short of the man's neck.  

Again the executioner said that by law this meant the man was to be freed.  

The third very blond spy was led up to the dock.  When asked if there were any last words she (he) responded, "I have always been called a dumb blond but you guys are the dumbest.  It seems to me that a little grease here and a little grease there and the whole thing would work a lot better."
