I couldn’t do it, I’d be worried everyone could tell I was high. Tbf tho, no one called him out for licking rocks… sooooo idk. I’d just hate to be remembered as the rock licking guy
I once gave a speech on butterflies while stoned off my ass. Got really, REALLY fucking stoned, with a buddy cause I was pretty sure I didn't have to go to that class that day. Checked the syllabus and turns out I had to go. We picked the subject of other people's speech, and gave a 3 minute "speech" on butterflies, which I mostly just modified Mitch hedberg jokes to fit butterflies. Got the class laughing and got an A. 🤷🏼♂️
Mitch Hedberg jokes while high is a pretty smart move. Either that or you're the only person who finds them funny and end up looking like an idiot.
Accepted behavior among geologists
I took a geology course in college. The raw giddiness the professor hit on seeing a very bland gray rock still makes me laugh thinking about it. Dude was starstruck by a large grey lump. I'm sure it was a very excellent rock, but I can't recall now what made it so amazing. Something about glaciers.
I think he would have gladly licked the rock if he thought no one was looking.
I 100% believe the above.
I partied with geologists. Trust me they licked that rock. Totally what they do. I knew one that joked about keeping a few pebbles in his pocket of Gypsum or kaolinite or some other sedimentary rock to chew on to make a point about how much he was a geologist.
There is a whole tongue test is to tell if it's bone or rock anyways. I bet the guy on LSD was to busy high to notice half his classmates were probably licking the rocks sober.
I concur
