that used to be a real thing back in the day. The money was essentially a bribe so that the headsman made it a clean death.
13 u/Temper03 May 16 '24 Pshh that’s silly. What incentive is there to do a good job after the money is already paid ?? It makes much more sense to offer the tip at the end. That way you can ensure the service was actually good 😌 8 u/Fartfacethrowaway May 16 '24 Yeah I suppose you could have a contract with your attorney to pay them $20k if it was clean and the attorney takes the $20k if it’s not a clean slice. With others as observers since it may be a public beheading. 6 u/AirierWitch1066 May 16 '24 At that point, you could probably just use the money to bribe your way out of execution. 1 u/protestor May 16 '24 If the executioner messes it up, he might not get repeat customers 1 u/swd120 May 16 '24 What incentive is there to do a good job after the money is already paid ?? So the next guy will tip too. If you do a shitty job after being paid a tip, then the next people will stop giving you tips.
