Ok this post is out there for those of you who know what a rock-hound I can be.

Top 10 Signs You Might Be A Geologist

10. You have ever had to response "yes" to the question, "What have you got in here, rocks?"

9. You have ever taken a 15-passenger van over "roads" that were really intended only for cattle.

8. You have ever found yourself trying to explain to airport security that a rock hammer isn't really a weapon.

7. Your rock garden is located inside your house.

6. You have ever hung a picture using a Brunton as a level, and your rock hammer as your hammer.

5. Your collection of beer cans and/or bottles rivals the size of your rock collection.

4. You consider a "recent event" to be anything that has happened in the last hundred thousand years.

3. Your photos include people only for scale and you have more pictures of your rock hammer and lens cap than of your family.

2. You have ever been on a field trip that included scheduled stops at a gravel pit and/or a liquor store.

And the #1 sign you might be a geologist:

1. You have ever uttered the phrase "Have you tried licking it?" with no sexual connotations involved.


So maybe most of these are only funny to freaks like me, but some of them are still funny to the general population. And boy do geologists love booze.
