The Mad Shed

But I don’t want to be lowly smileymaster anymore ancient or new. I just want to be chief executioner and gett*en to play with the guillotine

Oh hell. Who’s going to manufacture the smileys then?

AND you'll need Health & Safety training in the us­e of the guillotine, so that you don't hurt the victims with that sharp edge.

Yes, who's going to manufacture all our new Smileys?

I distinctly remember that it is illegal for Chief Executioners to manufacture new Smileys.

We could manufacture him Lord High Executioner, but then he might have to sing.

Hmmm. We need a Smileymaster.

Why not put Mr Nilly in charge of them and thus call him "New Smileymaster and Chief Executioner"?

Why didn't I think of it before?

We could manufacture him Lord High Executioner, but then he might have to sing.

@Mr Nilly ... Can you sing? (Gilbert & Sullivan style).

And he would have to cut his own head off.

All part of the daily safety test.

We can't be too careful.

Of course I can sing

Without a head?

I think that attribute is crucial to Mr Nilly's promotion.

If he can sing without a head, he gets the job I reckon.

Capital.

(DYSWIDT?)

So, Mr Nilly, Sir W.C. simply needs proof that you can sing without a head, and the job's yours.
