Maybe even add an oversized skeeball rig to catch the heads.

I like that idea. I'm thinking a little drop through an oversized Pachinko machine. Prizes for anyone betting on the hole it ends up in.

OTOH, the thing was used in the 20th century, and not by the French, but the Nazis. Very efficient. Not the best advertisement, though.

Head removal doesn't seem to bother the political left (including the media) when the Muslims do it, but I concede the point.

Perhaps it's time to hide the entire thing behind some hippie-dippy new-age ceremony, similar to "Carousel" in Logan's Run.
