Concise and to the point.
Incidentally, just how massive were the holes?

About 2m wide, 4m long and 5m deep

that's a deep hole
mine were only about 500mm wide, 2 metres long and a metre deep at most. then they got filled in again.

What can I say
I roll on a larger scale than you.

Because I'm so fat I can't walk.

good stuff
do you travel long distance dangling beneath a chinook?

I get the chinook to drop me at the top of a big hill
then I roll down like a massive zorb.

Each or in total?
And for what purpose?

Holes have always held some kind of attraction for me.
I dug a trench t'other day, using a pick (of indeterminate age) and a shovel that's about 80 yrs old.
I felt a deep sense of fullfilment when I was done. It was a noble and goodly trench measuring 7ft deep, 3ft wide and 18ft long.

Each hole was that big
I dug them to see what was at the bottom.

And what did you find at the bottom of each hole?
No, wait, let me guess...
Was it...
Dirt?

to the untrained eye it may look like dirt
but there is a world of clayey sandy silty gravel out there.

Untrained eye?
Shame on you.
