Why don’t you just gopher a walk somewhere else?

Was it designed for whack-a-mole?

What are you trying to say about my weight?

Coming from a hole in the wall joint.

There is a mole in the engineering department.

Holey Moley

We have those da*ned things all over our place! They destroy property.

He’s not kidding. In my old neighborhood, gophers and prairie dogs had eroded away much of the hillside at the end of the street. When my neighbor complained about my cat in his garden, I told him that he would not have a garden without my cat. Kirby (pictured as my avatar) killed more than a hundred gophers in that neighborhood over six years. He did it purely for sport, never ate anything but kibble.

Putt-A-Mole.

And now I’m thinking of Roger Miller: ♪ “Do-wacka, do-wacka, do-wacka, do-wacka, do-wacka-do” ♪

When it comes to maintaining holes, that gopher is a burrow-fessional.
