Inbreeding at Its Best

This happened on the shuttle on our way back to the resort. As Julius so aptly put it, it was "inbreeding at its best." I think it killed off some of my little grey cells just being around them.

Gramps, Mom and Dad #1, their Young Sons #1 and #2, and Daughter, Mom and Dad #2, and their Teenage Sons #3 and #4 all pile in and sit scattered amongst the Other Passengers, chattering loudly and obnoxiously and shouting across the shuttle at each other.

Act 1

Son #2 (about 10): Look, it's the LuxOr! I can tell by the light! That's the LuxOr!

Mom #1: It's LuxEr.

S: No, it's LuxOr. That's how you say it: LuxOr.

M: Nooo, it's not. It's LuxEr. Lux-Er.

Daughter: Yeah, it's LuxEr, not LuxOr.

S: No, it's LuxOr! That's how people say it!

M: No, it's LuxEr! "Ee-ar" doesn't make an "or" sound, it makes an "er" sound. How do you spell "Luxor"?

S: L. O. X. Um, um...

M, triumphantly: E-R! So it's an "er" sound not an "or" sound!

S: No-

M: When we get back, I'll call the hotel and they'll say it right and then we'll know how it's pronounced. That'll end this.

S: Fine.

M: Hurray for me for thinking so good!

Other Passengers' IQ drops several points. One particular Passenger's head snaps up in utter disbelief - "so good"?!?! - and whips around to glare at her BFF, as if he could do something about the stupid people.

Oh, but there's more!

Act 2

As the shuttle pulls away from Caesar's, it passes a flashy Ford GT.

Dad #2: That's a sick car!

Teenage Son #1: Yeah it is!

Teenage Son #2: It's so sick! It's sicker than a Beemer!

Dad #1: It's sicker than a Porsche!

Dad #2: It's sicker than a Lamborghini!

A chorus of "yeah's" go up.

A Ford vs a Lamborghini. Hmm...


Act 3

30 seconds from the resort, a foul smell permeates the shuttle. By this point, the Other Passengers don't know whether to laugh or cry or shoot someone.

Dad #1: Ugh, what is that smell?

Teenage Son #1: Eww!

Teenage Son #2 snickers.

Mom #1: Eww, that stinks!

Dad #2, snickering: Someone's gonna have to clean out his drawers!

Raucous laughter amongst the family. When the shuttle comes a stop outside the resort, the Other Passengers breath out a collective sigh of relief and send up thankful prayers. As everyone files out of the car, one of the Other Passengers sees one of the Teenage Sons scoop something up from behind him as he stands up and try to shove it into the other Teenage Son's face.

Disgusting, to say the least.
