"...The three debated the point for several hours without resolving
the issue..."
A
n engineer, a psychologist, and a theologian were hunting in the
wilderness of northern Canada.
Suddenly, the temperature dropped and a furious snowstorm was
upon them. They came across an isolated cabin, far removed from
any town. The hunters had heard that the locals in the area were quite
hospitable, so they knocked on the door to ask permission to rest.
No one answered their knocks, but they discovered the cabin was
unlocked and they entered. It was a simple place ... 2 rooms with a
minimum of furniture and household equipment. Nothing was unusual
about the cabin except the stove. It was large, pot-bellied, and made
of cast-iron. What was strange about it was its location ... it was
suspended in midair by wires attached to the ceiling beams.
"Fascinating," said the psychologist. "It is obvious that this lonely
trapper, isolated from humanity, has elevated this stove so that he
can curl up under it and vicariously experience a return to the womb."
"Nonsense!" replied the engineer. "The man is practicing the laws
of thermodynamics. By elevating his stove, he has discovered a way
to distribute heat more evenly throughout the cabin."
"With all due respect," interrupted the theologian, "I'm sure
that hanging his stove from the ceiling has religious meaning.
Fire LIFTED UP has been a religious symbol for centuries."
The three debated the point for several hours without resolving
the issue. When the trapper finally returned, they immediately
asked him why he had hung his heavy pot-bellied stove from
the ceiling.
His answer was succinct. "Had plenty of wire, not much stove
pipe."
