This video is a report with a real saudi executioner, some may not find it funny if so DO NOT WATCH.
The part about his exam on the digestion system really got me cracking up!

umit07, what you have presented is not supposed to be funny nor do I think it is.
You have been given the opportunity to learn of the emotional (and personal) 'attachment' of a man to a very difficult profession.
When he actually performs the duties required of him by his profession, he has the ability to 'detach' himself from such emotions and that must be extremely difficult.
Any act of execution is carried out in accordance with the laws of of that nation and the subjects are fully aware of the consequences should they fall foul of them, similarly they are aware of which crimes are punishable by the severence of limbs.
It is difficult for WE of a different culture to understand THEIR perceptions, just as it is for THEM to understand OURS.
I personally was struck by the composure of the executioner, he came across as a well informed individual, obviously a family man and devout in his beliefs.
Whether or not WE believe in what HE does is a moot point, certainly not reason for an invitation to ridicule it.
In my considered opinion.

Even though you gave us prior warning, I decided to view it anyway. Sorry, but I gave up after a few minutes as I did not find it funny at all. Some no doubt will.

"...we're sorry he's a little late; he's carrying out an execution..."
Ah, those late days at the office...
Also, I had to laugh when he was asked if he took breaks between executions...
"...yeah, sure - a little coffee, some dates and then I check the obituaries for a while..."
