Koohii Story 1 "As they constructed the visiting team dugout, they removed a quantity of soil when there was an overpowering stench. Nobody will want to use this dugout!"
Koohii Story 2 A DUGOUT is a dry moat found around Japanese castles. The SOIL is arranged so as to OVERPOWER (or give the advantage to OVERPOWER) an attacking army. If dug in a low lying area it fills with water and becomes a moat (濠 moat (#2306)).
