The Great Debate

[jwgh]

There is an object that is frequently used in some communities as a symbol of hospitality, to welcome people.







Last night, at 1 am, in the parking lot of Nick-a-Nees, I overheard part of a discussion about what that object is. I thought both sides made interesting points, so I thought I'd see what you all thought.

The second two look like pineapples. The first one doesn't look like anything I know, but more like a pinecone than a pineapple. The bottom of the first item is pointed in a way that I believe the bottoms of pineapples are not. It's also the only one hanging down, for what that's worth.

I submit the following:
The second two are goddamn pineapples.
The first one is a crappy representation of a pinecone. Or maybe pinecones in Italy look different than the ones in Pennsylvania.

I think cedar cones look more like that.
