The British love lawns, and little furry creatures. Moles are problematic.

A British comedian told a story concerning his attempts at getting rid of moles. He claims everyone has a their own pet theory as to how to do it. He talks of planting a multitude of plastic windmills on his lawn after hearing that the vibrations they transmitted into the ground would drive away the animals. Embarrassment was all he achieved. He was very skeptical when he heard a countryman say "There's only one way to get rid of moley!" He expected to hear another crazy scheme, but he bit, and asked "how's that?" "Blow 'is bloody 'ead off! "Right, but how do you do that?" "With a shotgun!" came the reply.

The man just happened to have a gun for sale, which Jasper purchased. Moles are nocturnal, so he was told to strap a torch (flashlight) to it and go out at night. The rest of the monologue involves how one of the policemen who came to investigate the disturbance was particularly sympathetic - "must have had his own trouibles with moles."
