Once there was a night watchman who had been caught several times sleeping on the job. The boss issued the final warning. On the next night, he was caught with his head on his hand and his elbows on the desk.
“Aha, I’ve caught you again,” exclaimed the boss. The watchman’s eyes popped open immediately, and he knew what had happened. Being a quick thinking man, he said one word before looking up at the boss. The boss apologized profusely and went home. What was the one word?
We all know that if you weigh yourself on the moon, it is less than your weight on the Earth. Can you tell me something that actually weighs more on the moon than on Earth?
I hover out there in darkness, unseen.
I will shred things to pieces ’till they’re just smithereens.
I might serve as a gateway to places unspoken,
Yet I’m sealed off to man, forever unbroken.
I twist and distort, only darkness escapes,
I destroy all I find
Whatever I take.
