At work we somehow landed on the topic of how many holes a human has, which then evolved into a heated discussion on the classic question of how many holes does a straw have.

I think it’s two, but some people are convinced that it’s one, which I just don’t understand. What are your thoughts?

    I mean, we also have multiple sphincters, so there are many ‘holes’ in our straw, hence why I said in as many words as possible that I don’t believe that, and am not arguing it, but that I can understand the “supersimplified” understanding of things that can lead to that understanding using the human body as the common point that the ‘common sense’ 2 hole argument could originate from, whereas the person I was replying to said they couldn’t understand that kind of reasoning.
