Current Music: Andrew W K - Ready To Die

Forgot to mention something - rather stupid, but I found it funny. S and I were out with A and some other people on Monday night, and we were out so late that the buses stopped running. So we went to Utrecht Centraal Station (CS) to get a taxi, and we saw two, pulled up next to each other, the drivers talking. Now, we knew they were taxis because of the phone number on top, but S (who had had about 5 beers at this point) walked up and stuck his head in the window and asked, "Ben je een taxi?" (literally: "Are you a taxi?") The man grinned and started teasing him, "Of ik zelf een taxi ben? Nee, maar..." ("Am I myself a taxi? No, but...") and on and on. I was dying laughing but for S the Dutch was totally 'boven z'n pet' (just learned that expression... translates as 'over his head'), so we just got in the taxi and went home, but I thought it was funny.

Just thought I'd share that. :-)
