Three rabbis were discussing how to have the best davening experience (prayer) and what the best positions for prayer were. A telephone repairman who was working nearby overheard their conversation.

"Standing and swaying back and forth during the shmone esrei is definitely best," said the first rabbi.

"No," another rabbi contended. "I have the best davening when I’m sitting down saying the shema with my eyes closed."

"You're both wrong," the third rabbi insisted. "The best davening is Kabbalat Shabbat, dancing with my arms outstretched to Heaven."

The repairman could contain himself no longer.

"Rabbis," he interrupted, "the best praying I ever did was hanging upside down from a telephone pole."
