   Love Eddie Izzard I’ve watched these again lately and just love him a little more every time.

   The bit about the “h” in “herb” always cracks me up but I seriously thought it was a hold over from the Brits?

   “The Dutch speak four languages and smoke marijuana.” Classic Eddie Izzard.

      I remember going up to a distinguished-looking gentleman in The Hague and saying, “Excuse me, do you speak English?” (Because it didn’t seem polite to take it for granted.)

      He said, “Well I hope so. I teach it. At the university.”
