Sabotage is an ancient Dutch art?
Come on. What’s the deal with all the Dutch hammering? Huh? Rainn Wilson, who plays Dwight Schrute on The Office
has disparaged the Dutch. And here I thought he was a good kid from Seattle with a heart of gold, a dream – and integrity. But I guess not. I guess he’s just like everyone else. We were spending a nice evening eating gratin dauphinoise, enjoying a nice bottle of French wine, and watching The Office. It was nice. Perhaps a little too nice. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Dwight made the following statement:
Sabotage: The ancient Dutch art of screwing up your own team.
It still hurts. It cut deep. Real deep.
Isn’t Sabotage a French word?
This painful stab comes on the heels of my good friend Tim telling me about the arrogant purple duck on Peep and the Big Wide World who “…talks incessantly about ‘Duck intelligence this, Duck strength that…’ – he’s like the Dutch.”
OK. I get it.
