3. The least interesting class I ever took was metamorphic petrology
In that class, we talk a great deal about an important mineral that's very indicative of the metamorphic facies etc, and on and on. The name of that mineral?

CUMMINGTONITE

Absolutely, positively never fails to get me laughing. It was the only thing that made met-pet bearable.

10. "As a whole..."
because I always think they are calling somebody a bad name (on the down low) when they use that phrase in a sentence.

I started thinking this after reading an Edward Abbey essay where Abbey gets into a fictional argument with someone in Utah (that I'm remembering from memory as best as I can):

Abbey: well who do you represent?

other guy: Utah

Abbey: Utah as a whole?

other guy: yes, Utah as a whole.

I have no idea if that was intended to be what I thought it was, but it sure is funnier and coming from Abbey not unlikely.

35. Neighbor-Blight and Windfall Profits (Farmer expressions)
Neighbor Blight refers to what happens when folks sneak into your crop and help themselves to a little. Neighbor Blighted corn is quite common. A sturdy electric fence is often good prevention against Neighbor Blight.

Windfall Profits are sprouts which just mysteriously got mixed in to the farmer's crop or field. Generally those seeds were blown there from elsewhere. Unwanted wheat sprouting in a potato field for instance could be called Windfall Profits.

Like Neighbor Blight, Windfall Profits are rarely a good thing.

73. "Bob's your uncle"
It's an expression I've heard colleagues in England use and I'm not totally sure how to use it properly or what it means, though I've had it 'explained' a couple of times. Something about indicating something will be done or finished just fine after listing the tasks. Doesn't matter it always comes at unexpected times and cracks me up.
