Man Deep In Pit Insists Solution Is “Just A Little Lower”

A local man digging a very deep hole for himself has insisted that the solution to his ‘digging problem’ is to “just keep digging.”

For years, the unwritten rule of the beach is that sandcastle builders would help each other. Some might build bigger sandcastles than others but either way, everyone’s lending tools and helping each other out.

A few weeks ago, however, this rule was broken when local sandcastle builder, Donald (not his real name) decided not to help the other builders. Instead, Don collected all his spades and buckets and set about digging a really deep hole.

When everyone on the beach pointed out that this was a stupid waste of time, Donald climbed out of his hole, kicked over a couple sandcastles, stole everyone else’s tools and threw them into his hole, then just kept on digging.

It seemed that nothing could stop Donald, even when it became clear that he wouldn’t be able to climb out, even when Donald hit water and the hole started flooding, Donald did not stop, Donald kept digging. 

“If they’re going to dig a hole, then I’m going to dig a deeper one!” shouted Donald from the bottom of his hole, but Donald was so deep in his own hole that he couldn’t see that no one else was digging a hole and they just wanted to build sandcastles.

Everyone has pleaded with Donald to stop, but he has insisted that when his hole is deep enough, he could dig his way to Russia and climb out there.

It remains to be seen whether Don’s big big hole will pay off or simply cave in on itself, but until either happens, let’s just keep throwing pennies down there and hope that turns out to be a wishing well.
