The Dutch job

Things that don't fit anywhere else...

Being (partially) Dutch myself, I googled up some more-

Dutch courage (alcohol)
Dutch reckoning- an undetailed bill is presented; if questioned, the total goes up
Dutch comfort- "Thank goodness it wasn't worse."
Dutch concert- each musician plays a different tune
Dutch auction- the bid starts high, and is lowered until someone bids.

Apparently a lot of the derogatory ones stem back to a time when the Dutch and British were at war with each other.

Neat idea H@nk ...but cooking kids is illegal in this country. I can think of some I wouldn't mind seeing in the "kettle" though. Doug

I know there was a song a long time ago made by Hall and Oats.
She's a man eater. Before that you have to cook him. Why not the kids? :cry: :cry: :cry:
