My brother once dug a foxhole in the front yard while my parents were out. Got it deep enough for a 9 yr old boy to stand up in. Boy were they surprised! And so was he at their lack of appreciation.
Sounds like stories My Brother told of Boot Camp (101st Airborne-Nam-Lost Him There.) of being told to Dig a Fox Hole then when done The Drill Sergeant asking him Something like " Recruit ! Why Have You Dug A Hole In MY GROUND? Fill It Up NOW !"

I tried to dig to China once. I found a lot of worms before I got 10 minutes into it and I decided to go fishing. So much for world travel.

At least he doesn’t have to dig it with spoons in the name of “employment.”
