Then there are geology jokes.Once Ferdinand Feghoot went on a wilderness hike with a bunch of Hollywood stars, including Lee Marvin and Sally Field. On the third day, their farthest point from civilization, Ms. Field realized that she was out of Lithium and would suffer a recurrence of her bipolar disorder on the way back. Feghoot said that he had a small chemical lab in his backpack that he could use to extract the element from a suitable ore, but no such ore was to be found. After a few minutes of deliberation, Feghoot sprang to his feet and dug through the liquid refreshments that had been cached at the campsite. Holding up a can of Miller Lite, he crowed in triumph. Pointing to Mr. Marvin, he directed him to polish of the case from which Feghoot had extracted the can.“But I hate that horse piss,” Marvin protested.“But you have to do it for Ms. Fields’ sake,” Feghoot insisted. Turning to the others, he explained, “Don’t you see? If Mr. Marvin does as I say, in twenty minutes we’ll have lepidolite”.
