"Guillotining" was a service provided by my school's printery. That was what I observed on the paper box that was used to store my new notes for my finm 7406 in the 2nd half of the semester.
When I saw the word, I can't stop myself from imaginning the time when they used the guillotine during the French revolution. One "Swoof" and the head of the executed is gone. What if the printery in France was responsible for performing the guillotine service back then?
After looking up on the entry about "Guillotine" on wikipedia, the guillotine was said be retired as a public execution tool after Napoleon. But it brifely earned a spotlight in Hitler's sight during world war 2 and many of them were made to execute Hitler's opponents.
Anyways, back to the story, the guillotine that we all know is just a paper cutting board today. However, I just can't help myself from looking for ambiguos naming of words since it proves to be a good source of material for stand comedy.
