Where did you read it?  Please state your source, including the url, as each source may be slightly different.  I have an idea of where you found it, but I would like to confirm my suspicion. 

I can tell you that you found it funny because you merely read it.  And, so that you are fully informed, that degree is part of an appendant body called the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite. All of the members are 3rd degree Master Mason’s.  There is no higher degree than that of Master Mason.  The 32nd degree designation merely signifies that you are a member of all 4 bodies in the Scottish Rite.  The explanation of the ritual is conveyed during the degree and is considered for members only and is beyond the scope of this board.  So, to answer your question, yes I know the meaning, but no I will not tell you.

Hello Trer

I you really want to know the symbolism of Freemasonry you actually need to be a Mason. Much of our symbolism doesn’t make sense out of context. As I have said on some other posts, this is not a Masonic Discussion board or a place to discuss the intricate levels of our symbolism. it is a place to ask questions about how to become a Freemason. If you are just going to ask questions about what you think is funny or something you don’t understand, we would be here a long time. So if you want to continue with these kinds of questions I would ask that you go elsewhere. Everyone here is a volunteer. I don’t want to waster there time answering questions that can have no to meaning to you.

Thanks

Have a read of this book: http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/clausens_commentaries/text.htm it gives explanations of the Scottish Rite’s degrees. It was intended to be read by new members of that Order so that they understood better.
