To adapt an old Soviet joke...

Three men are sitting in prison awaiting Madame Guillotine. One says to the other, "I'm sentenced for supporting Thomas Paine. What about you?"

"I'm sentenced for opposing Thomas Paine." They both turn to the third man and ask what he's going to be executed for.

Thomas Paine sighs.
