Awesome short story

[carrotderek]

Fat man: "Tell me, slight man.. what is a chair to you?"

Slight man: "To me? Well, I guess you'd first have to formally define a chair, oh, but I guess I just answered your question with another question, silly me. Considering a chair is defined as an object designed for the specific purpose of sitting on, I would consider it to be a useful and important part of society seeing as much of one's lifestyle involves much of his or her free time sitting."

Slight mann the other hand, if I were to take a more abstract view of the subject matter, I would presume a chair to represent rejuvenation and rest. It would be a physical metaphor for relaxing and regaining strength thus once again making it important to society because all huiman beings require rest and the ability to recover from various wear and tear.

Fat man: More than I expected, but nevertheless... lets take this into the physical perspective.

Slight man: Very well.

Fat man: A chair is a simple device for its purpose is meant for sitting am I correct?

Slight man: Yes

Fat man: What distinguishes a chair from a stool then, they are both meant for sitting.

Slight man: I don't see a distinguishing feature, the only difference is the cultural refernces associated with them which is shown in the two different names for the same object.

Fat man No. There is a distinct feature, and that is that chairs have backs... for comfort.

Slight man: Ahh, but can you prove this?

Fat man: I don't see why I cannot. Show me a stool with a back, and is still called a stool.

Slight man: I see, I don't understand where you are getting. Chairs have backs...

Fat man: Correct, but I have a back.... logically am I a chair?

Slight man: Aah, no, you see... you are confusing two different objects witht he same name. The back of a chair is made of wood and has a very rectangluar architecture, yet the back on your body is composed of protein, flesh, blood, and a battery of other organic materials.

Fat man: Wood is composed of organic materials.

Slight man: I see... I must say you old dog, you have bested me. You are truly wise.

Fat man: No! You are wise! That unwitting metaphor of calling me a dog! Dogs are made of organic material as is wood of a chair! Cunning, how you reference our very discussion into this name!

Slight man: Then we are both wise!!

Fat man: Yay!

Narrator: They both rejoice in happiness.

i understood completely, i love it .. i think it shows the thoughts of cutural societies and the chioce of which people choose to distinguish objects ( not just a chair in this instance ) but can be misconstrued to be something else, so riveting
