For Sale on Craigslist: Working Guillotine

Mothers' Day is this Sunday. You didn't forget that, did you? If you do, your mother will certainly never forget it.

Be prepared. Give your mom the best possible gift for the occasion: a guillotine.

NBC 29 reports that Pat and Alex Pichl of Englewood, Florida are parting with their completely functional and stylish guillotine. They call it the "Best No [Trespassing] Sign." It sits in their yard as a warning to intruders. But now they're moving and don't have room for it anymore.

The chopper is a mere $500, which, I can tell you, is quite affordable for the guillotine hobbyist. All it needs is a bit of floral decoration to give it a festive look. Then it's ready for presentation on Sunday.
