Karl Pilkington Quotes On Petra in Jordan:

- “I was looking into it when I noticed I was surrounded by lizards. Big ones. I gave one of them a bit of a HobNob. It seemed to love it. It ended up eating two to itself. It’s odd to think the Mayans have probably never tried a Hobnob, yet this lizard had”

- On the Statue of ‘Christ The Redeemer’ – “The only thing that didn’t look in proportion was his chin. He looked like Jimmy Hill!”
Karl Pilkington Quotes On Peru:

- I’ve heard that fact, that is you eat more than 6 bananas it will kill you
- I saw a bowl with 7 bananas in it, and i thought, that’s dangerous.

Karl: I’ve seen knobs before.
Ricky: Have you?
Karl: Yeah.
Ricky: Where?
Karl: You see knobs all the time.
Ricky: Where?
Karl: In gyms and that. And don’t say you don’t look, ’cause you do when you’re in a gym. Because it’s there! If you don’t look, if you’re going like that, (looks at the ceiling) that’s more of a worry. If you’re not happy looking a knob in the face there’s something wrong.
