Bob had been captured by a dictator and sentenced to death by his 50-man firing squad.
Bob cringed, as he knew their reputation for being the worst firing squad in the country. They were such bad shots that they would often all miss their targets and simply mame their victims, leaving them to bleed to death, as the dictator’s tradition was to only allow one shot per man to save on ammunition. The thought of a slow painful death made Bob beg for mercy.
“Very well, I have some compassion. You may choose where the men stand when they shoot you and I will add 50 extra men to the squad to ensure someone will at least hit you. Perhaps if they stand closer they will kill you quicker, if you’re lucky,” snickered the dictator. “Oh, and just so you don’t get any funny ideas, they can’t stand more than 20 ft away, they must be facing you, and you must remain tied to the post in the middle of the yard. And to show I’m not totally heartless, if you aren’t dead by sundown I’ll release you so you can die peacefully outside the compound. I must go now but will return tomorrow and see to it that you are buried in a nice spot, though with 100 men, I doubt there will be much left of you to bury.”
After giving his instructions the dictator left. Upon his return the next day, he found that Bob had been set free alive and well. “How could this be?” demanded the dictator. “It was where Bob had us stand,” explained the captain of the squad.
Where did Bob tell them to stand?
