BEST
REASONS FOR NOT EXERCISING
1) My grandmother started
walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 now and we don't know where
the hell she is.
2) The only reason to take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.
3) I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to show up.
4) I have to exercise in the morning before my brain figures out what I'm doing.
5) If God meant us to touch our toes, he would have put them further up our body.
6) I like long walks, but only when they are taken by people who annoy me.
7) I have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.
8) The only advantage of exercising every day is that you die healthier.
9) When trying cross-country skiing, better start with a small country.
10) Jogging makes the ice jump right out of my glass.

Dedicated geologists
Total immersion geologists
Total immersion geologists: Are you totally obsessed with geology? If so, then you are a total immersion geologist. Here are the ten warning signs:
1. You judge a restaurant by the type of decorative building stone they use rather than their food.
2. You manage to turn any conversation into a discussion of geology, as in: "What did you think of that Superbowl game last night?" "I must have missed that conference. Who sponsored it? Geological Society of America?"
3. You refuse to let nightfall stop your field excursions and continue looking at the outcrops using the headlights of your field vehicle.
4. You like rock music only because it's called "rock" music.
5. You will try to claw through the water flowing in a stream to get a better look at the bedrock at the base of the channel.
6. You will walk across eight lanes of freeway traffic to see if the outcrop on the other side of the highway is the same type of rock as the side you're parked on.
7. You name your children after rocks and minerals.
8. You're not sure if you have children.
9. You view non-geologists as subhuman.
