When you 'take the high road' - it means doing the right thing even if its not popular or easy.
Not to be confused with the Scottish Song The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond - which no one seems able to really interpret in any case... But is a good tune to reference when you need to remember to 'take the high road'

If a person wrongs you, no need to go and seek revenge or let it worry you. "Take the high road" and let them take the low road. In the long run that person will have probably wronged many people and their reputation is tarnished (their road is rougher) - while if you don't let it bother you and stick to doing the right thing, life will more likely work out for you as you are not bothered by the negative stress and your reputation is better. Metaphorically speaking, like a High Road (aka freeway / highway) the view is often better and you can travel faster, while the low road is slower and has more obstacles and traffic lights.

Similar to a Moving Road-Block, a Mormon Road-Block is the situation where three or more vehicles are pacing each other on the freeway. This causes problems for those trying to speed past slower vehicles. A Mormon Road-Block is worse than a Moving Road-Block because Mormons typically drive mini-vans, Suburbans, or specially made 15 person vans, so as to carry their families. This means that even if vehicles are not trying to pace one another, a roadblock can still occur because of the simple size of the vehicles.
Tim: Why weren't you here on time? Didn't you leave early enough?
Mike: I left in time, but I got stuck behind a Mormon Road-block

The biggest and longest running joke ever to be pulled by a state or nation in history.
The joke is that some people get together somewhere and map out a place to set up cones and tear up the road. Setup then involves blocking off a half mile strip of road on either side of the workzone, and proceeding to jackhammer the hell out of the asphalt.
The punchline is everyone that has to drive through the workzone, as the workers not jackhammering (all of them) laugh at the frustrated looks on peoples faces as they go by, late for work by at least half an hour or more thanks to a four lane highway being shrunken to one lane.
Once the "work" is supposed to be done, or when a new place is found, the workers pull up stakes and move, leaving the road the same as it was before they came, or worse.
This has been going on since before recorded history in Utah, although no record has currently been found as to whether it started with the laying of asphalt in Utah, or merely when roads were established.

A simple game with one or more players. Consist of driving along empty highway, taking empty bottles, usually freshly consumed, throwing them from the moving vehicle at oncoming road signs. One point per smashed bottle. For the ametures this is easily accomplished from the passanger side of the vehicle, but the seasoned veterans have been known to score a few points from the drivers side.
