Shoot, Shovel, Shutup.
Seems some folks have trouble with the “shut up” part.
The responses to this thread should reinforce why it’s there.

Delano, California’s National Bird is the crow.
If you drive through there in the evening, you will be shocked by all of those mean, ugly birds swarming the place. (They storm the almond and fruit groves around there—driving up the cost of the food you buy.) Insanely, it’s illegal to kill the monsters.
“Don’t ask: Don’t tell” was a seated president’s personal declaration; so why not, “Shoot! Shovel! Shut-Up!”?
Yup. It works.
