Three Californians go down to Mexico one night and get drunk and
wake up in jail. They found out that they are to be executed for
their crimes but none of them can remember what they have done. The
first one is strapped in the electric chair and is asked if he has
any last words. He says, "I am from the San Diego School of
Divinity and I believe in the almighty power of God to intervene on
behalf of the innocent." They throw the switch and nothing happens,
so they figure God must not want this guy to die, and they let him
go. The second one is strapped in and gives his last words. "I am
from the University of California School of Law and I believe in
the eternal power of Justice to intervene on the part of the
innocent." The switch is thrown and again nothing happens. They
figure that the law is on this guy’s side and let him go. The last
one is strapped in and says, "Well, I’m a Cal-Berkley Electrical
Engineer, and I’ll tell you right now you’ll never electrocute
anybody if you don’t connect those two wires."
