Since the subject of gravity has recently been brought up (ugh)
I remember reading a short story long ago about a truck driver
(perhaps he had a scientist friend) who learned to control gravitons.
He would overload his truck, and just out of range of the terminal
dump all the gravitons so the load wieghed almost nothing and thus
made the driving much faster, easier, and less wear on the truck.
Shortly before reaching his destination, he would stop under a big
concrete railroad bridge to grab some gravitons and up his cargo to
approximately the correct weight.  Among other problems - after a while
he had removed so many gravitons from the bridge that it broke up and
floated away.
 Anyone else remember this?
