I Really Like a Steven Wright Joke I Heard Years Ago

"If you were driving at the speed of light
and you turned on your headlights,
would they do anything?"

I wish I could make
a poem out of that.

[PEDANTRY ALERT] Actually, according Special Relativity, the answer is Yes, they would - at least in your frame of reference. Don't ask me what bystanders would see, 'cause I never quite wrapped my mind around that stuff. I was a Newtonian physics guy... /PEDANTRY ALERT]

Great joke, though - love Steven Wright.

Well, if someone happened to watch me pass, sitting at less than the speed of light... Ah well, the whole thing's a bit silly.

And one of my other favorites: "You can't have everything. Where would you put it?"...
