This is funny. It reflects something that recently happened at work:

So, Saturday, I had an excellent day with various friends. I got a nice, slow start with my wife (^^) then bounced over to Henrietta to pick up tools for the afternoon's activities... making a big hole!
Vis just got a pool. In order to install this pool, we had to dig a 9 inch-deep hole where the pool would lie. Vis had drawn and outline and started, so the rest of us hopped in and made quick work (3hrs with 6 people) of the ton-and-a-half of dirt and sod in our way. Lemme tell ya, there are few man-sports that are more satisfying than driving a pick-axe 9 inches into the ground with every atlas-like swing. Not to mention the satisfaction of a deep hole that measures 20x8 ft. :) We got a little carried away and ended up excavating about 160 cubic ft of dirt instead of the required 120. Eh, what's an extra half-ton? *Grunt*
