[Kali]

2. that is no joke

3. I can dig it!

[ProudLib72]

4. Been there, done that. One semester in college was all it took

Clean pottery sherds and label them. Oh what fun!

6. Seriously, I love archaeology, but so many digs are in places where you have to endure

pretty rough living conditions. If they could guarantee me a suitably ancient and noteworthy dig near a Holiday Inn Express, I’m there!

8. I thought you were going to say,

"It was the pitts."

[Duppers]

9. Floyd, are you the genius who comes up with these?

Or where do you find them?
They are like Frosted Flakes... remember Tony the Tiger?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

Indeed I do remember Tony the Tiger. He’s GREAAAAAT!

10. Instead, I wanted to be a proctologist until I realized....

I was already surrounded by assholes......

11. I decided long ago that I wanted to be a scarecrow. Unconventional, sure, but you know what?

Today I'm outstanding in my field.

[samnsara]

13. seriously i wanted to but ended up only minoring in cultural anthro...

...as a single mom of a young child i knew it would be difficult to take a child on a dig.
