  1. Snug Like A Bug In A… Hole

    A short story in honor of those who cannot help digging.

    Hello!

    I can see by the look on your face that you’re confused. Look down.

    Further down.

    Hi! Yes, I’m the head that is protruding from a hole in the ground. As you can see by my waiving, I also have arms. I also have a body and legs, but a lot of it is not visible to you because, well, I’m in a hole.

    Oh, don’t worry about me. In fact, this hole is exactly where I wanted to be. I ended up here while engaging in an argument with a friend. I was trying to score some points, but lo and behold, the ground started to cave, and slowly, but surely I ended up in this hole.

    You know what? I feel rather comfortable in my hole. In fact, I’d like to enlarge it so that I can sink even deeper into it. Do you happen to have a shovel I could use for this task?

    Oh, wow, what a stroke of luck! Thank you for the shovel. Now, if you don’t mind, I need to get on digging. Have a nice day!

    I regularly run into people who like to dig themselves into a hole.

    The latest one was someone who approached me for dating. I sensed drama in their profile. I said, “no, thanks,” and they immediately proceeded to prove me right by tossing drama at my head with their response.

  2. The woodcock is called ‘sitar’ in Romanian, which translates as ‘colander maker’, because of all the holes it produces while searching for worms. In reality it is employed in offices around the country as a hole punch.

  3. #FuneralFactFriday: Some caskets have holes drilled into them

    Orthodox Jewish caskets have pre-drilled holes in the bottom panel to facilitate the body's rapid return to the earth. Contact with the earth and quick decomposition fulfill the Bible's requirement, "For dust thou are and unto dust shalt thou return."

    Metal caskets must have a series of holes drilled into them to be buried at sea. There are requirements about strapping the casket closed, weighting it down, and creating holes for water to enter and air to escape. Otherwise they won't sink!
