A psychologist, an engineer and a theologian were hunting
when they stumbled upon a cabin where a potbellied stove
was suspended in midair by wires attached to the ceiling.
The psychologist theorized, "The lonely trapper has
elevated his stove so he can curl up underneath and feel
the warmth as if he has returned to the womb."
"No," said the engineer. "By elevating the stove, the man
is simply distributing the heat more evenly in the cabin."
"Actually, lifting up fire has been a religious symbol for
centuries," explained the theologian.
Just then, the trapper returned, so the hunters asked him
to explain. "Well, I had plenty of wire," the trapper
said, "but not much stovepipe."

What lies at the bottom of the ocean and twitches?
A nervous wreck.
