Yeah … to foreigners it looks like the Dutch were born in caravans!
In my last job (in Germany) my coworkers told me a joke about the Dutch every day for 4-5 years! There are many jokes about us, or so I learned!
90% of those jokes must have involved caravans 
This is brilliant. Make mental note for this years annual reviews.
A colleague (I hate that word) has a keyring with the inscription ‘You can’t do epic sh*t with basic people’.
Somewhere around module 7-8-9 of B2B, @JoshFossgreen makes a big point of telling us to embrace and laugh at our mistakes.
That’s great advice when you’re learning sonething new, but it really applies to all of life. Nobody’s perfect, we all mess up at things, including things we do all the time. So many of the “mistakes” people make day to day have no real impact on anything, het do many of us (myself included) spend so long beating ourselves up about it.
It depends on whether you’re a chef or a botanist 
I feel like there has to be a “…walked into a bar” joke in there somewhere 
It’s funny that almost everything in a greek salad is technically a fruit
Philosophy is discussing whether or not ketchup is a smoothie,
Or
…the talk on a cereal box…
Or
…a walk on the slippery rocks…
My daughter has never liked ketchup on her food but when she was about 8, she’d put it in those little paper condiment cups and drink it with a straw 
Your daughter likes fruit. And sugar. So…a kid.
Talk about apropos! Here’s a really interesting discussion with Brian Eno from today’s The Guardian.
‘I don’t like being revered’: Brian Eno on art, AI, and why he hates talking about David Bowie
He’s worked with some of the biggest names in music, but his latest book claims there’s an artist in all of us. Brian Eno and co-author Bette Adriaanse discuss the myth of genius, and how to really unlock your creativity.
It just needs to be discovered, then honed.
If the pop culture trope that we use 10% of our brains’ capabilities, I’d bet most people use even a tinier fraction of their creative capabilities.
Hence, that’s why I wrote this is a “pop culture trope.”
I don’t subscribe to that notion.
Sure, but by repeating it, you are reinforcing a stereotype that is not true? No?
As everybody’s favourite communist said
“A lie told often enough becomes the truth.”
It’s not what I meant. I intended the opposite. If it came off incorrectly, it’s my bad.
@MikeC I know what you meant when you said ‘trope’. I just wanted to clarify for our younger listeners.
It’s just that I recently listened to a science podcast about neuroscience where they discussed how hard our brains are working all day. The 10% thing came up and was roundly dismissed.
Tasks such as driving are incredibly complex but we think nothing of it.
It’s all good.
Not sure if this is wildly appropriate for this thread or wildly inappropriate but TBH I am kind of hoping for both. (Warning that it may be offensive for some).
With the counterexample for “Nurture” being the paralympians and others who have, through hard work, compensated for any disadvantages and achieved great things.
(no idea what that was from but I was impressed they went all the way with that gag)
Omg I burst out laughing sitting here at Starbucks
You had me at “inappropriate” 
Have you seen the Norwegian tourism videos with men humping bridges? lol
I know I was like “Ok haha thats funny, a little inappropriate HOLY SHIT THEY ARE TOTALLY GOING THERE”
looooooool!
Yeah, exactly
We are such a funny people, but so misunderstood. I think the very nature of Dutch humor is to make fun of ANYTHING and EVERYONE (including yourself).
It’s definitely non-PC, but nobody is discriminated, as everybody is ridiculed.
Our recipe for world peace
