There’s this cathedral that’s still being
worked on, and the workers have rigged a “cage elevator” inside so
they can get material up and down to the upper floors. A
characteristic
of these “cage elevators” is that the doors (gate) must be
closed
manually for them to be “called” to another floor.
One
day one of the workers, Peter by name, takes the elevator to the
top floor, and it is subsequently needed on the first floor by the
sexton. Unfortunately, Peter forgot and left the door open. After the
sexton
rings for the elevator a couple times, to no avail, he yells up
for the
worker to send the lift back down. Visitors to the
cathedral were
treated to this sight: The sexton of the cathedral, head
tipped up, yelling
up to the heavens:
“Peter! CLOSE THE
GATES!!!”
