Global Warming

While in college pursuing my engineering degree, I took a part-time job in the Geology lab preparing fossil, rock, and mineral samples.
The department had some well-known Vulcanologists and Geologists, therefore I took a few general geology classes as electives.

During one of the class sessions, there were a few tree-hugger-type students, that even still dressed as hippies. We were discussing oil exploration, climate, and more. One of the female students stood up to protest oil and mineral drilling, and its effects on climate, weather, and more.

The professor asked her if she had periods. She said "Yes" and what did it have to do with climate? The professor told her that the earth was just like a woman that underwent periods. The flow varies and the mood is always changing! Everyone in the class burst out laughing except her. If that was to happen today, they would probably fire the professor!
