How can you put helium into a wagon if it's a gas ;)

Here is another one:
I live behind you, but always in sight.
You push me away, but I will cling tight.
You don't dare carry me, nor leave me behind.
I must always be paid, so keep me in mind.
I am useless in death, but am carried by all.
So hurry and pay, it'd do well not to stall.
What am I?

What do you put in :P
A balloon has to be tied to it. Think outside the box.

I won't say the answer but I'll admit I did look it up. I think this one is dumb.

Een tho this doesn't exclusively fit to the wagon part my answer would be "a hole" as adding a hole to something will always make it weight less

actually thats what I was thinking. Ive seen riddles like it before and they always stump me when that is the answer.

and, yeah, Im going to start keeping score to myself. when this thread looks like its gonna die, Ill post the highest scores.

@cobalt
beh, its all a matter of opinion when it comes to riddles. my idea of a "stupid" riddle is stuff like "why do firemen wear suspenders? to hold their pants up" and "why do people go to bed? becuase the bed wont go to them" and "a little moron and a big moron are standing on a bridge, the big moron fell off. why didnt the little moron fall off too? because the little moron was a little more on." that kind of stuff. the riddles you find on laffy taffy and string cheese wrappers are unacceptable. you may have found the sunlight riddle "difficult" but it was by no means unacceptable.

CARRY ON RIDDLERS! CARRY ON!!

Yes a hole.


I am always their but not always seen,
I bring any kind of emotion,
I am located in the brain,
What am I?

I have three feet but I cannot walk.
What am I?

I make some of these by my own so you won't find all of them online :P
