Once, again, Mr. Punch, with my help, is offering up a true Victorian riddle. The first person to answer correctly--by posting in the comments--will receive public congratulations.
So, here's this week's riddle. We ask that you don't Google the answer. Mr. Punch would not find that sporting at all. Give it a shot and see what you can come up with. Yes, it's another long one. Here we go... No cheating...
What is the difference between a tunnel and a speaking tube?
UPDATE:
And, the answer is...
One is hollowed out, the other is hello-ed-in (hullo-ed-in/hallo-ed-in).
Many thanks to all who answered! It was another brilliant round. You all did splendidly. Come back next Friday for another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles!

Do you really want my ideas about any statement which includes the word 'tube'?
Most likely, "No."
And, we're off...
Words go into one while Birds go into the other (like the canary in the mine).
Matty, that's a very good answer. Well done!
Spelunkers versus thunkers.
I don't know what to say to that.
If you put your ear in front of the wrong one you'll get run over by a train.
A common complaint.
One connects minds and the other connects mines.
Ah! Very nice!
A tunnel can help you travel and a speaking tube can help you babble .
Ha! Wonderful answer, Darcy!
One is filled with gold and the other with "told."
Clever!
Ones for crawling and ones for calling.
Brilliant, Angelo!
One goes thistles while the other growscwhistles.
Also brilliant!
