"Jack and Jill went..."

Wait.

Who the hell drills a well at the top of a hill?

splord May 13, 2009 7:41 AM: Artesians, that's who. ;)
Jennifer May 13, 2009 7:45 AM: You know, I almost gave you the benefit of the doubt 'cause you know stuff. But I'ma stand by my ramblings for a few more minutes at least.
Dick May 13, 2009 3:28 PM: @#$%^&* Bob, you stole my bright idea. I was all set to type in, "It was an artesian well." (Actually I was going to do a Wiki check on "artesian" before submitting it just to be sure my childhood memories of the meaning were correct!!!)
Dick/Dad May 13, 2009 3:36 PM: Furthermore, I'ma stand by MY comments. There was a bigger hill just beyond Jack and Jill's hill, and the (artesian) well from which they either did nor did not successfully fetch a pail of water was, indeed, at the top of THEIR hill.
The Cunning Runt May 13, 2009 8:37 PM: I think the "pail of water" is a euphemism for, um, something else...

;)
Anonymous May 14, 2009 9:50 AM: I don't think *any* of y'all are correct. It was a cistern.

So there.
Jennifer May 14, 2009 9:53 AM: Who the hell builds a cistern at the top of a hill?
splord May 14, 2009 10:00 AM: Cistercians, that's who. :)
Dick May 14, 2009 7:48 PM: Brilliat, Bob. Absolutely brilliant.
Anonymous May 14, 2009 7:49 PM: (Make that "brilliaNt".)
Dick May 14, 2009 7:50 PM: I'm Anonymous (above) Fingers slipping on the keyboard late at night.
Steve May 14, 2009 7:57 PM: are we sure it was not some sort of analogy for a septic tank?
just asking
