"Haruhi?" asked Kyon. "Why are you digging a hole in the school football field?"

"Archaeological expedition," Haruhi said, as her spade clinked. "Oh, I hit something! Help me pull it out, Kyon!"

"Maybe it's a 'time capsule' buried by another class!" Haruhi said. "Or maybe it's a container manufactured by an unknown ancient advanced civilization!"

"Or maybe," an exasperated Kyon said, "it's a jar of dirt!!"
