Thanks, GB!
/* Uses hands to wipe dirt off of clothing */
Hey, wait a minute. If there is no dirt in the hole, then where did all this dirt come from?
And this question is completely different from the other. This hole is measured in the metric system, and the other hole was filled with water.
/* Fills new hole with water */
This one is better for swimming -- the other was only 6 inches wide.

OK, so if a whole hole is nothing, what's a "virtual hole" ?

The Mini Meet Up? With me, One-eye and Freedom? Well, of course all iof us forgot to bring a camera (x3) - and then we thought of crowding into a photo machine, but decided to have a couple of beers first, and by the time we left the pub the underground (with photo machine) had closed...

Wait...someone said you can't half a hole? If you didn't have a hole, there wouldn't be anything to half. Even if you half a half the half is still a hole half.

"You can't have half a hole" - that would be me.
Icarus said: "if you didn't have a hole, there wouldn't be
anything to half. Even if you half a half the half is still a hole half."
I think that was my point. You can halve a hole. Except you then have two holes ("a whole half" - if you prefer.) You cannot, for instance, dig half a hole by only halving Greebo's dimensions (6x2x1) - that would still be a hole. You might try imagining some dividing line in the hole. ("That is one half and this is the other.") but you're still only standing in A hole. Not two or even half.

Puns are really hard to carry off in text. Read it as "If you didn't have a whole, there wouldn't be anything to half. Even if you half a half the half is still a whole half" and see if it get funnier. Somehow I doubt it, but it's worth a shot. A shot of what I don't know. Vodka perhaps.
