Three firemen just walked into our room to test the smoke detector. One of them saw my hammock and asked, "Does that work?"

Now, being shocked by this question, my tone of voice was probably not what it should have been. I believe I asked, "How does a hammock not work?"

He went on to explain that it could fall or hit the refrigerator beneath it, etc.

I was surprised by his logic. Why on earth would I keep a hammock in my room that doesn't work? Would it make any sense to keep this thing in the way of my desk if I couldn't even sit in it comfortably?

I was a little disturbed by his question and logic.
