Two Men and a Riddle

How long does it take a piano to fall? Not very long at all, said the man who knew too much - still long enough to be such an interesting riddle for the man who knew too little.

I think I'm supposed to laugh VERY LOUDLY at this one, David. ~ A Man Who Knows He Doesn't Know

Haha, after I wrote this, I decided I might need to know the answer to the riddle if I posted it. It seems like I would do that if I had any kind of accountability. Somehow it struck me funny, a man under a piano, definitely knows too little if he doesn't look up. On the other hand, maybe he's better off that way.
