Thanks to my friend Ron Nickel and his infamous email list. Thank God I own my company because I could be sent to prison for some of the emails he forwards... Thankfully, NOT this one!
Top Ten Signs You Might Be A Geologist:
10. You have ever had to respond "yes" to the question, "What have you got
in here, rocks?"
9. You have ever taken a 22-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
I frequently refer to Geologists as "Rock Lickers" with no offense intended, and none ever taken.

As I look at the list, I am a closet geologist. I guess I just came out.
