    Well at least he whittled his problems down to just one; how does he get out of the hole he just dug.

    Running away from your problems is indeed digging your own grave.

    Ten to one, he still has the same problems, and a big hospital bill coming, to boot.

    That’s an old saying. No matter where you go there you are sitting in a hole.

    This reminds me of a website that lets you see where you’d be if you dug a hole all the way through the world from wherever you are. (I would end up in the Indian Ocean west of Australia.) The site is called Antipodesmap dot com.

    Keeping one’s head in the dirt is a way to hide from problems.

    Years ago I studied my globe, and determined that if I dug straight down I would not end up in China, like so many people say, but rather somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean; near where they print information about Mercator Projections and stuff like that. Useful information at that, but I sure there is an easier way to get to it.

    One of his problems is not knowing the difference between “hiding” and “running”.

    I didn’t think this was what “pig in a poke” meant, but I could be persuaded. Or is that just a hole lot of Pig paranoia?

    Pig would have even worse problems if he doesn’t get out of the hole before someone fills it in.

    How can you run in a hole that size? You’ll just be running around in circles!
