Elizabeth Schüssler Fiorenza quotes Felix Wilfred...... Once a parachutist found himself caught up in a storm, and he was swept off several kilometres away from his original destination. He landed on the top of a tree, and was only happy his life was saved. He saw someone passing by, and called out to him and asked, Sir, can you tell me, where I am? Came the answer, You are on the top of a tree. The Parachutist said. Are you a theologian? At this the other man was simply wonder-struck. He asked the Parachutist.Yes I am, but how do you know that? The Parachutist replied. Oh that is easy. Because what you said is correct , but useless!. Source: Patrick Gnanapragasm and E. S.
