Everyone knows a mineral...but do you know
Maneral, minerals that men collect such as black uglies?

Who needs pegmatites when you can have a Peggymatite, where minerals are often collected by women named Margaret.

Druid quartz, the common material found by wizards at Hogwarts.

Bet-a quartz, old women in Las Vegas use these in the slot machines.

Arm-a-fist quartz, usually purple and the favourite mineral of the arm wrestling crowd.

Aqua-Marine, those that belong to a special unit of the navy and wear blue underpants.

She-lite, the newest in diet drinks for women.

Urano-Sir-Sight, for those rare sightings of gentlemen from Uranus.

Floor-ite, to keep your floors shiny and new.

Okay, so I had a litte spare time on my hands...what can you add?????

So this what you gals in the woman's forum are up to! We men all think you are talking about us! Too bad.

Gal-ina, a little gal.

Pi-right, the devise that calculates pi to any decimal you desire.

Pyro-fil(e)ite, the light cast by a line of pyromaniacs with torches.

Van-add-a-night, motel promotion for customers with Vans.

Real-garrrr, sound from an authentic pirate.

Oh, help!

Oh no Bob, you have joined in on the fine habit of wasting away precious time in the pursuit of silliness!
And, for what it is worth...man bashing is a no-no on the women's forum.

Now...while my tea brews...

Rhodo-crow-sight... as the sun sets and makes a red glow on the crows sitting on my fence sighting.

I suppose in this context, a few of mine bear repeating!

Farmercosiderite [syn. of collectorwithadeathwishite]: a well-crystallised cobalt iron carbonate found only at a remote rural locality surrounded by barbed wire and electric fences, where collecting is forbidden except to members of the inland revenue accompanied by armed police officers.

Flogopite: a mineral you bought at great expense just before a new find of large quantities of greatly superior material, and can now only sell at a jumble sale price.

Microlite: a way of reaching otherwise inaccessible localities.

Pet-alite, my dog's on fire.
Pay-nite, instead of payday for some.
