Being in the car for hours and hours every day made for some silly conversation. Below is the list of some of the most brilliant comedic lines (intentionally or unintentionally) uttered during our 8 days in Scotland:

Larry:

“I’m speechless. I couldn’t even prepare a speech for this.” – upon partaking of one of the stunning scenic views

“Uh-oh, now our fudge is unpacked.” – when a box of Scottish fudge spilled in the backseat (after one of Larry’s famous speedy turns)

“Do you feel like you’re dying? Because feeling like you’re dying is a symptom of Lyme disease.” – on Lisa’s tick bite

“Looks like the brothels are just ahead.” – at seeing the sign “Fleshmarket Close” in Edinburgh

“Is that where the king went to cure his impotence?” – upon seeing sign that said ‘Royal Infirmary’ at Stirling

“They must have mean kids here.” – upon seeing sign that said ‘Youth Hostel’

There was a sign posted that advised ‘Heavy Plant Crossing’. Larry said ”Why did the heavy plants cross the road? …To reconnect with their roots.”

Lisa: “What is a military tattoo?”; Larry: “It’s like when a navy guy gets an anchor on his arm.”

Lisa:

“They’re Scottish bugs. I could tell by the tartan on their backs”

Larry: “How far is it?”; Lisa: “It’s this far.” – holding fingers inches apart, depicting physical distance on map

“Ouch!” – spontaneous exclamation every time Larry took a corner too fast (which was every corner)

“Where’s the Western Hemisphere again?” – while playing 20 Questions

“G-O” – displaying her brilliant scientific aptitude when asked for the periodic table symbol for gold

“What is that? The North Sea, or the Bering Sea?” – displaying her brilliant aptitude for geography along Scotland’s Eastern coast

“I wonder if this Loch has a Ness” – when passing a random large Loch
