Repartee

My pastor related the following story this Christmas:
One day, somebody wrote this on a wall, "Jesus is the answer."
The next day, another line was added below the first, "But what was the question?"

This reminded me of an article I read in the papers recently. A certain local university canteen has a sign that reads "Conserve Energy". The problem was the lights at the canteen were switched on brightly at about 9 pm when there was hardly anyone around. This prompted somebody to post a self-contradicting picture and asked sarcastically, "What are the lights for?"
Then came the reply, "This is so that you can read the sign."
