Or how to fit a dozen Belgium in the boot ? Or how to recognise a Belgium at the airport ? There are literally a thousand demeaning jokes about Belgium folk. You see, from this side of the border, Belgium folk are deemed stupid.
And then you visit Belgium, you meet Belgium, you date Belgium, and you get the joke is on those demeaning Belgium folk. Belgium folk are actually great folk. Well, most are. There's one working his way to full greatness.
But this is all in vein. It is unlikely today is the day you will grasp who you be. Hopefully that day will come before you pin yourself in a corner that no amount of regret, atonement, and re-commitment will redeem you. And sadly that happens very often.
