The main "executioner" of Warsaw has serious troubles, because of the authorities that are planning to take away his ace. The locals have become complaining about the entrepreneur that is "on duty" for several years with his horrible weapon at the entrance to the old city. He takes pictures of the tourists with their heads under the sharp shiny blade and is accused for annoying them.

Some tourists are also indignant because they think that the butcher can let the weapon fall down some day and the axe will hit the neck of some poor tourist with all the dramatic consequences. The lover of the doomed medieval answers the critic with a labor ministry license and his impeccable experience. He appeared ten years ago with a wooden log and his axe and became a usual local sight as well as the cabmen and organ-grinders. During all these years he didn't have a single accident. And his axe only looks frightening, but it's made out of electralloy and is absolutely blunt.

Six years ago the police chief of the central Warsaw district has already made an attempt to confiscate the weapon from the "butcher" stating it to be a "cold weapon", but the order has not been fulfilled. The executioner that has also got the nickname of a "Scotchman" from the locals is an educated psychologist. The medieval history is his old hobby and he took his axe because he could not find a job in Warsaw according to his education.
