Report here your favorite quips or quotes from ROAR.
I'll start.
JoAnna turning to me in the "lobby" of Boulders at Singita: "Gee, thanks Mom, for ruining every future hotel experience for the rest of my life..."

As Ray showed me his video of the lions killing the wilderbeast...Ray stated "these pictures of the kill keep bringing back the awful smell." "listen, you can hear the crunching of the bones."

And me, turning back to Joanna saying, "Don't ever expect THIS again!"

Olivia, All I can say is "Kids!" What a great comment and response!
Andi, Ray's statement is chilling yet must have been thrilling to experience.
Denise
Retired and loving it!

Jerel, Andrea's husband with one of his zingers:
After watching all the ROAR'ers pile off the bus for the wine tasting tour in Capetown he says:
" Looks like the Bataan Wine March"
and again on the Four Corners Tour
" Looks like the Bataan Country March"

The days pass happily with me wherever my ship sails.

I loved Marilyn's comment as we were all waiting to depart Singita. Referring to the staff:
How do you spell relief?

Marilyn speak "That's a negatory, little buddy..."
Andi having a blonde moment "So, is the 30 minute helicopter ride a better value than the half hour one?" "Hmmmm, a trick question?" Anne and I wonder.

It was Andi misspeak.I know it couldn't be a dumb blonde moment, as I know I'm not a blonde! ;) ..I was trying to determine whether to save money and do the 15 minute tour vs double the cost of the 1/2 hour tour...1/2 hour tour a better trip!! Doug and I took only the 15 minute trip....sadly...

"You're in Africa now, darling"...Ngaire, advising me not to eat the salad I had just put together at the Zambezi Sun buffet.

Another Mother-daughter quip.
JoAnna to Olivia when Paul was giving us our flora lecture and pointed out the "wild Marijuana" "—Gee Mom, that doesn’t look like the kind you grow at home..."
And the last day when our ranger Paul was finally warming up to us "If any of you come back I'll look into getting a karaoke machine installed on the land rover".

And then me, turning back to Joanna and saying "OMG sweetie, what will they THINK of me when they don't know your crooked sense of humor????"
Ranger Paul also once announced to us, at either a morning break or a sundowner, that alcohol would no longer be available to this group. Facing what surely would be a rebellion, he then came up with a bottle of champagne, a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, and the trusty Amarula miniatures!
