Holes: An Encyclopedia of the Mundane

Holes. What are they? Where do they come from? And why are they so darn fun to fall into?

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a hole is “a hollow place in a solid body or surface.” But we all know that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Holes come in all shapes and sizes, from the tiny divots in your socks to the giant man-made craters left behind by mining operations.

Some holes are useful. Take the hole punch, for example. It’s an office staple (pun intended) that helps us organize our paperwork and feel like we’re accomplishing something, even if all we’re really doing is punching tiny holes in pieces of paper.

Other holes are less useful, but still manage to bring us joy. Who doesn’t love a good game of whack-a-mole? Or poking a stick into a forgotten puddle just to see how deep it goes?

But then there are the truly sinister holes. The ones that swallow up cars and people and entire buildings. The ones that make us question our own mortality and the fragility of the earth beneath our feet. These are the holes we fear, the ones we pray we never encounter.

Despite their varied forms and functions, all holes have one thing in common: they’re hilarious. Don’t believe us? Just watch any YouTube video of someone falling into a hole and try not to laugh. We dare you.

In conclusion, holes are a fascinating and hilarious part of our daily lives. Whether we’re falling into them, punching them into paper, or just admiring them from a safe distance, we can all agree that holes are an important part of the human experience. Let’s embrace them, enjoy them, and most importantly, try not to get stuck in them.
