It's one of Gurth's pet peeves. There is no country called Holland.
It's the Netherlands.

No. Much smellier. It was 1000 years old....

Do I want to _know_? :).

Don't worry. It's what happens when someone comes out with somethink either
very corny, or just something that some people violently disagree with...

My thwaps aren't nearly so smelly. I only use fresh carp...

No, a thousand year old one, because you said you lived in "Holland".
Gurth hates it when people say they live in "Holland" when they live in
"The Netherlands", trust me, I know :)

Ahhhh, but he DOES live in Holland.
The mistake he made was calling Holland a country when it's only a province.

True, if you happen to live in the province Holland it's okay, but
otherwise be prepared for thousand year old carps :)
