Happy Old Rocks Day.
This is one of my favorite holidays. In the past, I have talked about books and facts about rocks and geology. Today I want to share some geology jokes.

I had this on my truck until I killed it in 2004. It was a great conversation starter.
The following jokes aren’t as good as my bumper sticker, but I hope they get a chuckle out of you. I tried to include jokes that didn’t have weirdly pronounced words (how would you pronounce wacke?) so that everyone can enjoy the puns.
