Three men were due to be executed one day -
one University of Alabama graduate, one Florida State graduate and one Auburn University
graduate.
The Alabama grad was the first to be
brought in front of the firing squad. Just when they were about to fire, he shouted,
"Tornado!" The guards all turned around, and he escaped by jumping over the
wall.
Next in line was the Florida State grad,
now confident that he too will be able to escape. So, just when they were about to fire,
he shouted, "Flood!" The guards turned around and he too managed to escape.
Now it was the turn of the Auburn grad,
wondering what disaster he could use (now that tornado and flood had been used).
Finally, just when the guards were about to shoot, he shouted,
"Fire!"
