Measuring

All real important words have two meanings: the one you think it has, and the one you wish it had been.

Why is it that Men look to their betters for guidance before they know they have any?

All measuring ceases
and the devices lock up
as soon as the
demand is made. 
(“Okay, true, or false?”)

The ruler of this one world would sometimes shout out to the subjects, “The following announcement will NEVER be made.”  (This at least served to remind the people who was the subject, and who was otherwise.)

One guy, contemplating travel toward another world, decided that the best present fuel would be to forget things kin remembered, and to recall things they never noticed in the first place.
