In a good winter,
I’ll dig 50 graves.
It’s good work.
I get 25 bucks a grave.
If it has snowed, you just use a pick and shovel, scoop away the snow, the ground is good and soft.
But if it hasn’t snowed, the ground might be frozen two feet down.
You have to use a pneumatic drill.
One time last winter, the ground was so hard and the weather was so cold I said,
“Ah, that’s deep enough.”
There’s a law that a grave’s got to be so deep,
five feet or something,
And the Rabbi says,
“That’s not deep enough.”
“Did you ever see one get out?”
I asked him.
