It's not directly related, but I always liked this little "koan": A man is looking around at the ground under a street lamp. You ask him what he is looking for, and he says "I'm looking for my keys. I dropped them somewhere in that parking lot over there." "Then why are you looking inder this street lamp?" you ask. He answers: "Because this is the only place I can see!"
