            I like @Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 's comment the best, but actually, a friend once joked that, “I had a friend that could dig 60 ft holes, see, he dug 60 ft holes because the police stop digging for bodies after 50 ft.” So #zerocontext to the broad Internet, but just the same, an arbitrary ridiculous number to ask!
