If it takes one man three days to dig a hole 40' x 30'.....
I was having a BBQ at my last house and had discovered the joys of playing Drunk Kerplunk with some very running vodka jelly.

Myself and around five others were participating in this whilst, unbeknown to me, some of my other friends were devising another game.

How many things can we bury in the garden before TGB notices? (2006 rules)

I should mention at this point it was dark, and my garden was not massively private as the neighbours could see in from their upstairs windows.

As I got up to retrieve another beer I noticed my lawn was looking a lot more soiley that it had before. And not as straight. And it appeared to be growing watering cans.

My (unapologetic) friends then wondered how long it would take to dig a hole big enough for a grown man when it had taken 5 minutes to bury a stone statue of a cat.

And so the experiment began.

Aim:
To see if twice as many diggers take half as long to dig a hole large enough for a grown man to lie in and be hidden from the spectators enclosure (the patio).

Method:
Get shovels and dig like crazy.

Result:
Twice as many people get in the way hampering results.
Crazy neighbour will take pictures of you making it look like you are burying the evidence.
Police will ask to have a look at your garden.
Luckily will find it amusing.
Will never find cat statue.
