Well, we could always resort to paraphrasing Monty Python. eg

"I can't think of anything more insulting to call the Dutch than Dutch!"

Will that do?

Heh. Actually, I think that might do nicely...

Oh boy...the world must have gone wonky today...look at what happened to
the list...or maybe it was just me...

Then again, goofiness like this does break out after things get tense...

Well, as someone in direct insulting-range, here are some common (German)
jokes:

First, the all-time-favourite name: Kaeskoeppe (Cheese-heads, slightly
'dutched') Then there is "fresh holland tomatos"...if you ever eat one of
these, you'll know (hint: 100% water...tasty;))
Aside from the food-side of life, there are numrous jokes about the
coffee-shops, where you can legally get dope.

Be creative! ;))

sorry Gurth....<g>

Wait a second, here in Minnesota we call people from Wisconsin
Cheese Heads. Coincidence? I don't think so.

People in Wisconsin call people in Wisconsin "cheeseheads". Have
you never watched a Packer game?

Well, well, Wisconsin isn't a state of dope-heads, is it? ;)
