Geological Museum Puns

There were so many great shales!

So my dad and are touring a college in Rapid City, South Dakota, and we drove past a Geology Museum. He casually pointed it out as we had not noticed it before. I waited a few seconds, fully expecting a Geology rocks joke, but he was silent. I asked him why he didn't make a joke, as he is notorious for awesome dad jokes, and he looked at me and said, "I was going to but I felt like I was stuck between a rock and a hard place." I just looked at him and gave him a fist bump. This is going to be a great trip.

This one got groans from both Mom and the 3 year old, which I was pretty proud of.

We're in the Museum of Natural History, and they wanted to see the gemstone collection. You have to go through the geology area to do that. When we got to the rock identification area and I said "see, we're at the stones, I told you they'd be gneiss!"

Suffice to say I got the biggest of eyerolls as they continued on to the actual gemstones.
