"You'll hang me."
He can't be hanged, because hanging him implies that his words were false, and the hanging would make them true.
He can't be beheaded, because beheading him implies that his words were true, and clearly they aren't if he's being beheaded.

He can ask a question.
Or a word, any word, out of context, like "mittens."
Ooooh! I just read Jacques S's answer. That's good! I think Jacques S escapes the executioner!

He has to tell the executioner that he (the man, not the executioner) is going to die by hanging. Illogical logic loop that earns him is freedom.

What is there to say? Either way, tru or lie that man will die. So he can tell a story recite a poem, what ever he wants to say last, whatever he wants to be remembered as.

I have no idea, I guess I'm not smart enough.
I guess he has to say something that is neither true or false.. what that something is I can't think of. Good luck people.

Well, he would have to say something that is neither true nor false. I think he could save his own life simply by saying, "Hello".

I will not have my head chopped off, but I will be hanged.
actually, just "I will be hanged" works too.
