    Ohio.

    A man has his apartment on the 20th floor of an apartment building. When he leaves, he takes the elevator down, but when goes back up again, he takes the elevator to the 5th floor and walks the rest. Why?
    The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.

    Because he's short and can't reach the button?

    Because he's a midget, so he can't reach the button for the 20th floor.

    BTW, Algonquin's riddle was killing me, so I googled for the answer...but I still think someone should answer it.

    And now, for one from one of my favorite computer games of all time:

    A barrel of rainwater
    weighs twenty pounds.
    What must you add
    to make it weigh fifteen?

    Not sure of the answer, but here's a quote for married guys:

    "I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language.
    Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence?

    In a tunnel of darkness lies a beast of iron. It can only attack when pulled back. What is it?
