Xyz, it seems you must have had a bad experience with some poor deluded Dutch woman. I do apologize for my female compatriots! They are known to speak their mind on occasion. No, no.. no apologies, on the other hand she was quite fun, we just decided that English was good enough for the irrelevant communication... in fact she spoke Spanish as well! for the relevant stuff.... there is no language really needed. Besides, since every time that Ineke spoke Dutch to me, I though she was mad at me. He, he, he... And remember that the Dutch really do not need language to express the beauty of the world.... their best example is Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Vermeer (and many others indeed!) Z. p.s. Man walking along a road in the countryside comes across a shepherd and a huge flock of sheep. Tells the shepherd, "I will bet you $100 against one of your sheep that I can tell you the exact number in this flock." The shepherd thinks it over; it's a big flock so he takes the bet. "973," says the man. The shepherd is astonished, because that is exactly right. Says "OK, I'm a man of my word, take an animal." Man picks one up and begins to walk away. "Wait," cries the shepherd, "Let me have a chance to get even. Double or nothing that I can guess your exact occupation." Man says sure. "You are an economist for a government think tank," says the shepherd. "Amazing!" responds the man, "You are exactly right! But tell me, how did you deduce that?" "Well," says the shepherd, "put down my dog and I will tell you."
