Today's Chuckles
1. Free Recliner
2. The Stove
------------------------------
Free Recliner
One furniture shop drew shoppers to a big sale by offering
a free recliner to the laziest attendee.
"Will all lazy folk come forward?" the organizer asked.
One man did not budge. When asked why not, he yawned,
"Too much trouble."
He was instantly declared the winner.

To be nobody but yourself, in a world which is doing
its best, night and day, to make you everybody else
means to fight the hardest battle that any human being
can fight--and never stop fighting. - E.E. Cummings

The Stove
An engineer, a psychologist, and a theologian
were hunting in the wilderness of northern
Canada. Suddenly, the temperature dropped and
a urious 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, potbellied,
and made of castiron. 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 potbellied stove from the
ceiling.
His answer was succinct. "Had plenty of wire,
not much stove pipe."
