Ok, I'm enjoying this thread.

How many cubic metres of dirt are there in a hole 3 metres wide, 3 metres 
long and 2.5 metres deep?  
Um, none. 
Alas, I have but one poor riddle...
 
     Imagine that you're a cabdriver.  Now...this lady hails a cab, and 
tosses her bags in, shouting breathelessly "I have to get to the train 
station!!!"  Immediately, they're off, racing for the train station.  
When they get there, she jumps out, before realizing that her tickets are 
for a plane. (She's not the brightest of ladies.)  She runs back out, and
hails another cab, and tells them to race for the airport, which is 
across town.   Halfway there, they get stuck in traffic, *and* she 
realizes that her baggage is back in her original cab.  She jumps out and 
searches for the cab, finally finding it and getting them to go to the 
airport.  She just *barely* makes it in time, and flies off...once again 
forgetting her luggage.  The question is....who's the cabdriver?
