I guess I don't follow you. Without the execute bit set, how
will it execute at all, /bin/sh or anything?

[trammell@nitz ~]$ cat >foo
#!/bin/sh
echo "Hello World"

[trammell@nitz ~]$ ls -l foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 trammell users 30 Jan 21 07:22 foo
[trammell@nitz ~]$ ./foo
./foo: Permission denied.
[trammell@nitz ~]$ chmod 755 foo
[trammell@nitz ~]$ ./foo
Hello World
