Upon clouds in Heaven, two angels are flying over head of a group standing on a cloud. The two angels of that group are looking at a third, who is sitting down. He has no head.
It's odd to see an angel without a head, and only a halo levitating over where their head should be.
What happened to the sitting angel's head?
He's been sitting there since the French Revolution.

During the french revolution, the ruling class was famously beheaded, similar to the headless angel sitting in this scene. The reason the angel has been siting there since the french revolution is because, presumably, they were a victim of the guillotine. The joke is funny in part because, presumably, the person would be given the head back in the afterlife, but they haven't been.
