Middle-Egypt trip : Appendix

The Journey of the Quotes

During our Middle-Egypt trip, various funny things have been said by people of my group. I’ve decided to write them down here. I realise that they will be ripped out of their context, but that’s the thing about quotes, they get even funnier out of their context!

- Ilona’s boyfriend Jeff had an amazing assigment for us inside a tomb at Meir : find a depiction of a man jerking off a bull (excuse my rudeness, it’s all Jeff’s fault). On which Kaz responded : “A live bull or a dead one?”

- “This tomb is quirky, but not like Sandra Bullock” (Amy)

- “What’s your name, scumbag?” (Kenny, to a child)

- “Crapuul !!!” (Cathelijne, to some very annoying children)

- Ilona : “Now if you see these blind harpers over there...”
Cathelijne : “They are NOT blind !!”

- “Where are the Middle Kingdom coffins? I need to burn them. I’m cold.” (Kaz)

- “Dear Akhenaton, not tonight, I have a headache. Nefertiti.” (Sandra)

- Amy gave us an assigment at her presentation, saying this : “So think about it, and then tell me. Or don’t tell me, and just think. Oh hell, be intellectual!”

- “The people in this country just get uglier every year” (Kenny)

- “I find it very interesting there’s a feather in the mudbrick.” (Kaz)

- “Mounkin excavate?” (Kaz) (Mounkin is the Arabic word for Is it possible to...)

- "Do the Baqet!" (Me and Amy, referring to an Egyptian dance we reconstructed in Baqet's tomb)

The next quotes will be in Dutch. Sorry for the people who don’t speak Dutch (yet, right Guillaume? :p), but it’s just not funny anymore if I translate it into English.

- Cathelijne : “Sla die ezel toch niet zo, sukkel!”
Kaz : “Het moet anders.”

- Ik : “Wat zouden Cathelijne en Kaz nu aan het doen zijn?”
Steffie : “Die liggen vast ergens te batsen in de struiken.”
