You want to send a valuable object to a friend. You have a box
which is more than large enough to contain the object. You have
several locks with keys. The box has a locking ring which is more
than large enough to have a lock attached. But your friend does
not have the key to any lock that you have. Note that you cannot send
a key in an unlocked box, since it might be copied. How is this done?

Sat. Morning Funnies....
A teacher asks her class, "If there are 5 birds sitting on a fence
and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?"
She calls on little Johnny.
"None, they all fly away with the first gunshot."
The teacher replies, "The correct answer is 4, but I like your
thinking."
Then Little Johnny says, "I have a question for YOU. There are three
women sitting on a bench having ice cream. One is delicately licking
the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream. The second is gobbling
down the top and sucking the cone. The third is biting off the top of
the ice cream. Which one is married?"
The teacher, blushing a great deal, replies, "Well I suppose the one
that's gobbled down the top and sucked the cone."
"The correct answer is the one with the wedding ring on," says
Johnny. "but I like your thinking!"
