Earthworms are hermaphrodites. They should have called it “Pat” or something along those lines.

My puppy ate an earthworm out in the yard recently. Protein.

Walk without rhythm and you won't attract the worm

[GOYAKLA]

All earthworms are Liberals, slimey, stay in the dark and fear light, live in dirt spew s—t and leave carbon trails in their wake!

[camle]

On an offshore bottom (reef) fishing trip a guy from Arkansas who had never fished salt water before brought a can of night-crawlers (large full-grown earthworms) along for bait...much to the amusement of the crew. The laughter died down once he started reeling in one red snapper after another...they rallied on him and he ended up with about a dozen in the five-pound range.

16-inch-long earthworm

“I look forward to seeing if anyone can find an even bigger example ..."

Apparently there are lots of these in Australia and they grow up to 9 feet:

At least they could have killed it on a fish hook.
