The art of digging tunnels is complex and difficult, one must have the strength of an angry water buffalo and yet the grace of a complacent water buffalo. Becoming even a par tunnel digger can require years of training. One must know how to sharpen their fingers correctly, how to be able to scrub the grime from one’s teeth without removing the grit, and most importantly the art of “Dirty Punching”.
What is generally known to be the largest bicycle polo court in the entire world was an attraction in the 1944 World’s Fair - Los Marcostan -. The court was “dirt-punched” in it’s entirety from the innards of one of the country’s many semi-dormant volcanoes. Nearly 40,000 cubic tons of volcanic soil were removed to make the playing grounds. The first match played featured 2 teams consisting of 40 of the worlds drunkest and most caffeinated poloists. It was a glorious competition, sadly a final victor never arose as an impromptu lava flow instantly incinerated both teams during the half time “World’s Fair Strip-O-Rama Half-Time event Extravaganza”.
My uncle Artemus had a theory that if one could move with enough speedy flailing they could tunnel through water.
Later in life he proved this.
So there.
