“But he has high hopes!

He has high hopes!

He has high, apple pie in the sky hopes…"

Sung by Ol’ Blue Eyes in the film A HOLE IN THE HEAD.

I’m wondering if this is the first time in the history man that the words, “worm trying to push a brick” have been uttered. To say the least, it’s a phrase one does not hear every day.

proving once again what keeping your nose to the grindstone (or brick) actually does…

Let me see that handcart.

It would have been easier for Trout to move the brick than to make a small hand cart for a worm. Or is this an experiment in mobility.

An ant can move a rubber tree plant, whoops, there goes another rubber tree plant….

Bad form. If you teach worms to use tools, they will rule the world…..

The ants will “clean up” what remains of the worm.

Sometimes being able to give up is actually a good thing.

They have leaf-cutter ants, maybe they also have brick-cutter worms

The song is older than that movie, by the way. I’m old….I know….

Trout is so helpful.

There’s always a career in fish bait available.

Worms have faces? …CLAMS GOT LEGS!
