So now we know what’s at the bottom of the Money Pit.

Deep holes in the sand like that are dangerous, even deadly.

The FIRST rule of hole digging is to know when to stop.

Sucker!!!!!

Booty party!

He should have tied a rope to the tree.

Crewless

And the tide’s coming in!

Allardyce? Tom Morgan? George Merry shake off the ague! Dick Johnson put that Bible down now! By thunder if it don’t make me cold inside to think of Flint. This is one of his jokes and no mistake.

This is funny without the caption. With it, it’s funny twice.

You’ve been marooned, mate.

One of my favorite quotes from “The West Wing”. Spoken by Leo McGarry (RIP John Spencer.).

This guy’s walking down a street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep, he can’t get out. A doctor passes by, and the guy shouts up, “Hey you, can you help me out?” The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a priest comes along, and the guy shouts up “Father, I’m down in this hole, can you help me out?” The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a friend walks by. “Hey Joe, it’s me, can you help me out?” And the friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, “Are you stupid? Now we’re both down here.” The friend says, “Yeah, but I’ve been down here before, and I know the way out.”

Yeah Mates, go back and fill in the hole before the tide comes in.

Barry and Doug usually do the digging.

And thus, the crew was short of one John Silver

He needs to dig UP!

You’ll wonder where The pirates went. When you turn your back For just a sec’.
