An engineer, a psychologist, and a theologian were hunting - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

An engineer, a psychologist, and a theologian were hunting in the northern wilderness. Suddenly, the temperature dropped and a furious snowstorm began. Fortunately they came across an empty isolated cabin.

It was a simple place... one room with a minimum of furniture and household equipment. Nothing was unusual about the cabin except the very large, potbellied, cast-iron stove. But, strangely, it was suspended in mid air by wires attached to 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 is distributing 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 is a religious symbol."

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 potbellied stove from the ceiling. "Its like this you see," he says "I had plenty of wire, but fuck all stove pipe."

(Stove pipe = Chimney pipe!)

Spoiler: he didn't have enough chimney pipe to reach the roof if the stove was on the ground so he lifted it up

Think the punchline might have some language barrier in the way...

Everything else was set up decent.
