Can we settle this: how many holes does a straw have?
This classic question came up at work and became a big discussion.
I think the answer is two, but others really disagreed. What do you think?

When you get a hole in your pants, you don’t say you have two holes (unless the gunshot is through and through). You say you have “a hole” in your pants. The straw just happens to be much “thicker” than your pants.
