Dumb Jock

Remember the Disney commercials some time ago in which winning athletes were asked what they were going to do next and they answered, "Go to Disneyland!"? Well I am sure this Austrian Olympic swimmer's answer would not have been, "Go to a Florida beach and bury myself alive!". And yet, that is what he did. It took sixty rescue workers two hours to extricate him and earth moving equipment to fill the hole in afterwards. Anyone care to contest the title?

10 to 1 beer was involved. Oh... wait.... that's a sucker's bet.
The dude was an Aussie and an Aussie without a beer in hand is called a corpse.

Query: How is it he didn't hit the water table?

So I'm supposed to be able to discern the difference between an Austrian and an Australian before morning coffee????
