40 feet down a hole

Ooh, that would be a great feature of a border wall. People trying to scale the wall, slip into 40 foot holes that shred them and deliver the results on the Mexican side. I'm liking that scenario.

This is the Trump wall, right? Therefore, Trump’s fault!

I had read where the “wall” is to go down 30-feet as well to help prevent tunnels. But drilled shafts make sense too. Of course the shafts might be one right next to the other to form a barrier.

I’m not lazy but if I fell 40 feet into a hole, I am taking the rest of the day off. I would need a beer and a scratcher!

I remember Eddie Murphy on SNL - he did that all the time.

No, the article clearly say “plummeted”. You don't think they'd get an important detail like that wrong, do you?

You're the thread winner.
