One of my favorite stories.
One day, a mother spent the afternoon cooking Christmas dinner with her daughter in the kitchen. They cut up potatoes, snapped beans, rolled dough and laughed about old stories. As the mother prepared the Christmas ham she showed her daughter how to cut the ends off before putting it in the oven.
"Why do you cut off the ends?" Asked the daughter.
"I don't really know, it's just how my mother did it." She replied. "Go ask her."
As the daughter went into the living room, she asked her grandmother the same question.
"I don't know honey." She said. "It's just the way my mother did it."
Later that evening the great grandmother showed up for dinner. At the table the daughter asked the great grandmother the same question.
"Why do we cut the ends of the ham off before putting it in the oven?"
"Oh my." The great grandmother laughed. "How did you know about that?"
"Because mom and grandma do the same thing." She spouted
"Well" Great grandmother said. "Our oven was too small, so we had to cut off the ends."
Some things are just pointless and irrelevant to present circumstance.
