HOOK (first 3 seconds spoken):
Have you ever wondered why manhole covers are round? I mean, why not square

FULL SCRIPT:
Have you ever wondered why manhole covers are round? I mean, why not square or triangular? You see, if you use a square cover, it must be positioned perfectly because even a small misalignment could cause it to flip and fall inside. But a round shape is unique because no matter how you try, it can't fall into its own opening. And because of its shape, workers can roll it instead of lifting
