Irish,Have you ever heard the story of Robespierre the fanatical leader of the French revolution? He met the same fate with the guillotine a year later.After his reign of "virtue" and his attempt of ridding France of his own political enemies.Before he could be arrested and tried,he loaded a muskette and shot himself just below the rightjaw.But as luck would have it,he survived his suicide attempt.He was arrested and given a piece of cloth to hold his jaw in place and some Cognac for the intense pain. Through the night he waited. At dawn he was summarilly tried an executed. Refrence from old National Geographic I wish I still had.
