Yup, that's quite significant indeed. Before you know it you're in
Dutch. General female you that is, not /you/.

Doubt it - Dutch isn't a Dutch name.

If only I'd have had you as a history teacher when I was still in

We only honour the requests. Ever seen the face of a man who's just

Unfortunately for men, these three things seem to go hand in hand
quite often. Ultimate fright.
