#3004: Wells

XKCD comic, described below.
Transcript

[Megan is on the left hand side and is facing Cueball who is on the right side and facing her. Megan has her left hand raised.]

Megan: I need water, so I think I'll dig a deep hole and drink whatever liquid I find at the bottom.

Cueball: What will you do after you drink it all? Dig another hole?

Megan: I dunno. Hopefully it magically refills itself or something.

[Caption below the panel:]

It's ridiculous that wells work.

Title text:You do have to be careful, though--sometimes, instead of water, you hit this free fuel that you can sell for a lot of money instead.
