Ax Him No QuestionsHere’s a profession that doesn’t pop up at career fairs anymore. The thing is, because of the lack of public support for gallows these days, we’re losing all sorts of insider information that only executioners used to know. For example, no one can figure out how to pull off those cool masks they used to wear. Did they apply eyeliner under the eye holes to make themselves look extra intimidating to the condemned? Also, how did they deal with stage fright? Back in the day before television, people swarmed to public executions like it was the Super Bowl, so if the professionals on the gallows didn’t work their ax just right, all those rotten cabbages and tomatoes could be aimed at their leather hoods. So they had to get it right, or else. Executioners, however, are famously tight-lipped, kind of like magicians but scarier. So we don’t really have much of a record of what those executioners actually thought. Maybe we should assume that their grisly, intimidating leather outfits were the reason they could stay chill in front of a bunch of angry peasants.
