Indiana Jones vs. The World of Academics
Ahh...Indiana Jones you made me want to be an archaeologist - until I realized that what you did, and what archaeologists do are very different things. *g*
So naturally this made me laugh out loud.
Back from yet another globetrotting adventure, Indiana Jones checks his mail and discovers that his bid for tenure has been denied.

Excerpts :
no one on the committee can identify who or what instilled Dr. Jones with the belief that an archaeologist's tool kit should consist solely of a bullwhip and a revolver.
and
I find it pertinent to note that Dr. Jones has been romantically linked to countless women of questionable character, an attribute very unbecoming of a Marshall College professor. One of these women was identified as a notorious nightclub singer whose heart he attempted to extract with his hands, and whom he then tried, and failed, to lower into a lake of magma
